Leaving October

Intro  G  D  C  D

Verse
    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 and looks so much like you

         C                        G      D
I struck a match to light the furnace in the hallway
      C                  G     D
I could 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 Sara knows I'm troubled by that scent she reads my mind

Refrão -------------
 G Em C D
I'm just fine until the end of September
      G    Em       C    D
Then I remember losing you October '89
         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

Verse
       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

Bridge
 Em             C
All things work for good
   D         G
Has become my favorite verse
   Em             C
Sara told me that they would
       D        C
But when the nights get cold
      D             Em       C
And the leaves turn rust and gold

That's when your memory hurts
