This is the chords of Glue Myself Shut by Noah Kahan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
Ebm
You used to be scared of the water
Gb
You’re safe by the side of your father
Db
Your sense of the world lay
Ab
In your little home by the harbour
Ebm
You’ve always felt small in the city
Gb
I think that last fall you were with me
Db
And all of your old clothes
Ab
Are still in the hall of my building

[Chorus]
Ebm
You never asked once
Gb
No, you never asked why
Db
If I was putting things off
Ab
If I was drinking too much of that red wine
Ebm
Oh, you’d wear yourself thin
Gb
And accept every sin
Db
And if I glued myself shut
Ab
You’d find your way in

[Verse 2]
Ebm
We gambled our souls to the summer
Gb
We rattled our bones to the thunder
Db
We watched every sunset
Ab
Until we got sick of each other
Ebm
You’ve always said fall was your season
Gb
That everyone’s here for a reason
Db
I stare at your packed bags
Ab
And ask what the hell you were meaning

[Chorus]
Ebm
You never asked once
Gb
No, you never asked why
Db
If I was putting things off
Ab
If I was drinking too much of that red wine
Ebm
Oh, you’d wear yourself thin
Gb
And accept every sin
Db
And if I glued myself shut
Ab
You’d find your way in

[Post-Chorus] x2
Ebm Gb
Mmm, mmm
Db Ab
Mmm, mmm

[Bridge]
Ebm
It only feels real after raining
Gb
And hearts only heal after breaking
Db
I stare at the tree line
Ab
I noticed the leaves aren’t changing
Ebm
And does the wind blow in Cape Elizabeth?
Gb
Constant and cold, how do you live with this?
Db
Love was a deadline
Ab
Spend the rest of my life fucking missing it
Db    Ab
Mmm

[Chorus]
Ebm
You never asked once
Gb
No, you never asked why
Db
If I was putting things off
Ab
If I was drinking too much of that red wine
Ebm
Oh, you’d wear yourself thin
Gb
And accept every sin
Db
And if I glued myself shut
Ab
You’d find your way in
Ebm
