[Intro]
Em


[Verse 1]
Em                   Am
A framed adolescence steeped in the history of you
C                        Em
stopping the summer once for you
Em                       Am
Experience is lost on me I am melancholia eternally
C                    Em
but I still smile so stupidly
Em                      Am
For the first time ever I don't understand
C             Bb
my television


[Chorus]
Dm                                         G
Just like a moment in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Dm                          G
   I'm perpetually stuck in sepia film
Dm                                 G
   I'm bleeding inside I manage to keep it all in
Dm               Em
I keep it all in


[Verse 2]
Em                           Am
I've spoken so much rubbish done in no time at all
C                     Em
Feelings are so fatal in the fall
Em                      Am
No, you never kissed me never felt anything for me
C                      Em
Sepia the stain that I remember
Em                           Am
   And these unwritten diaries that can never breathe
C              Bb
never breathe


[Chorus]
Dm                                         G
Just like a moment in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Dm                          G
   I'm perpetually stuck in sepia film
Dm                                 G
   I'm bleeding inside I manage to keep it all in
Dm               Em
I keep it all in


[Solo]
Em  Am
C   Em
Em  Am
C   Bb


[Chorus]
Dm                                         G
Just like a moment in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Dm                          G
   I'm perpetually stuck in sepia film
Dm                                 G
   I'm bleeding inside I manage to keep it all in
Dm               Em
I keep it all in
