C  G D

[Verse 1]
C                           G
Five years you've been with him
                        D
Could you tell me whose time
are you wasting?
C
The fruit's gone blue
The well's gone dry
G               D
She's breaking 22 asking,
"Who am I?"
C
Commiserating
G                   D
In two blinks she's on to
the next fling
C                             G
That's all it took to say goodbye
                     D
He scrambles for the hook but
              C
she's off the line

[Pre-Chorus]
                           G
She's been waiting for the chance
                  Dmaj7
Maybe she's never lived
                          G
She told him she wouldn't leave
         D
Then she did

[Chorus]
C
He's not smiling with his еyes again
G                   D
She said he doеsn't want her,
he just needs a friend
C
(He's only getting nervous now
the rope is being severed)
G
Did nobody ever tell you grapes
     D
are better in September?
C
She's laughing when he's not around
G                  D
He begs for her attention
when he's feeling down
C
(She only reaches for him when
he's underneath the weather)
G
Did nobody ever tell you grapes
    D
are better in September?

[Verse 2]
C
He always cared,
but he's had enough
G                         D
'Cause all this constant fighting
doesn't feel like us
C
He knows it's time to move on
G
She's been waiting for
     D
this moment for so long
C
She never shared why
she felt so rough
G                   D
She broke another heart so
she could fall in love
C
She doesn't give a shit if
it sounds wrong
G                   D
She's fucking city boys to
                 C
her favourite song

[Bridge]
C                    G
And maybe he wanted more
   D                     C
Imagine the look on her face
                            G
If he's sleeping on the floor
   D                     C
It seems he's found his place
                              G
There's no point in him anymore
     D                 C
She needs to find some space
                        G
Tripping out of the backdoor
   D     C
He says

[Refrain]
I fell for someone new
           G
But she's just another girl
     D
that looks like you
C
What's love if it's not true?
     G
It's just another girl
     D               C
that looks like you

[Chorus]

He's not smiling with
his eyes again
G                   D
She said he doesn't want her,
he just needs a friend
C
(He's only getting nervous now
the rope is being severed)

           D
grapes are better in September?
C
She's laughing when
he's not around
 G                D
He begs for her attention
when he's feeling down

he's underneath the weather)
      G
Did nobody ever tell you grapes
     D
are better in September?

[Refrain]
C
I fell for someone new
          G
But she's just another
          D
girl that looks like you
C
What's love if it's not true?
          G
It's just another girl
     D               C
