Piano notes for 'Stick Season' by Noah Kahan

Verse 1:

As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined
A B C#B C# B C# B C# B C# B C# B D

You must've had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive
C# B A C# B C# B C# B C# A C# A A B D

Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
C# B A C# B B A C# B A B C# B A B F#

Kept on drivin' straight and left our future to the right
C# C# C# C# C# B A B C# B A B D

Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face
C# B A C# C# C# C# C# A A B C# A B D D

And memories are somethin' even smoking weed does not replace
C# A C# C# C# B C# B A B C# B B B D

And I am terrified of weather 'cause I see you when it rains
C# B A C# B B A C# B A B C# B A B F#

Doc told me to travel, but there's Covid on the planes
C# C# C# C# C# B A B C# B A A D

Chorus:

And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks
B A E E E C# E C# E E E E F#

And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
D E E E E E C# E E E E F# C#

And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
B C# C# B B A A B C# B B A B A

I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas
A C# C# B B A C# C# B B A B A

And I'll dream each night of some version of you
A A E E E E E E E E F# A

That I might not have, but I did not lose
B B B B B B B B B B A

Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes
A B B B B A B B B B A

And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do
A B B B B A A A B B B B A G# A

Verse 2:

So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad
E E E C# C# B C# C# C# B C# B C# B D

That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from Dad
C# B A C# B C# B C# B C# BC# BC# B D

No, I am no longer funny 'cause I miss the way you laugh
C# B A B B A C# B A B C# B A B B

You once called me "forever," now you still can't call me back
A C# C# C# C# B A A B C# B A B D

Chorus:

And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks
B A E E E C# E C# E E E E F#

And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
D E E E E E C# E E E E F# C#

And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
B C# C# B B A A B C# B B A B A

I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas
A C# C# B B A C# C# B B A B A

And I'll dream each night of some version of you
A A E E E E E E E E F# A

That I might not have, but I did not lose
B B B B B B B B B B A

Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes
A B B B B A B B B B A

And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do
A B B B B A A A B B B B A G# A

Bridge:

Oh, that'll have to do
C# C# C# E C# C# B

My other half was you
C# C# C# F# C# B A

I hope this pain's just passin' through, but I doubt it
E E E E D D C# C# A C# C# B
