Intro: G C G D

     C                                  G       D
The autumn leaves they rush outside my window
              C                                   G    D
like they've got something so important they must do
  C                         G   D/F#  Em
Sara will be home now any minute
               C                                         Em   D
She likes her third grade teacher who looks so much like you

             C                                G        D
I struck a match to light the furnace in the hallway
       C                             G      D
I can smell the summer dust burning in the vent
            C                                   G   D/F  Em
It's just another thing that brings your memory back to me
             C                                 Em                 D
I think that Sara knows I'm troubled by that scent, she reads my mind


Chorus:
          G             Em        C     D
I'm just fine till the end of September
         G         Em         C           D
then I remember losing you October eighty-nine
           G                           C      D
but if I live in the past, there's no future
              G          D                G
I'm looking forward to leaving October behind


           C                              G         D
There's a girl I really like down at the office
        C                                 G    D
me and Sara asked her out for New Year's Eve
            C                           G  D/F#  Em
It made me cry when I told her all about us
     C                                   Em
But Sara says there's nothing wrong with me
               D
it just takes time


          G             Em        C     D
I'm just fine till the end of September
         G         Em         C           D
then I remember losing you October eighty-nine
           G                           C      D
but if I live in the past, there's no future
              G          D                G
I'm looking forward to leaving October behind



Bridge:
Em                   C         D                  G
All things work for good has become my favorite verse
       Em                C              D         C
Sara told me that they would when the nights get cold
          D                   Em   
and the leaves turn rust and gold, that's when your memory hurts
