October Leaves

[Intro]  E  C#m  A  E
         E  C#m  A  E

E          C#m       A
I stumbled in at 3 a.m.
                 E
But you didn’t want to
E          C#m            A
I tried again at half past ten
                 E
You still don’t want to
A                           Am
Your hips have this way of saying no way
C#m      B         A
An impenetrable barricade

             E       G#
Something I said? Something I did?
C#m          B       A
What’s made you so defensive?
             E       G#
Something you heard? Something you learned?
C#m          B       A
The season’s changing, it’s for the worse

( E  C#m  A  E )

E          C#m       A
You used to call me on your break
                 E
But you’ve been so busy
E          C#m       A
You used to bring me tomato soup
                 E
But you keep forgetting
A                           Am
As the groundskeeper rakes up the October leaves
C#m             B         A
It occurs to me, trees can’t hide anything

             E       G#
Something I said? Something I did?
C#m          B       A
You’ve been acting so distant
             E       G#
Something you heard? Something you learned?
C#m          B       A
The trees are barren, the leaves have turned

C#m              G#       A
The days when we made it the world was green
C#m              G#       B         A
Now autumn has fallen, everything’s changed

E             C#m  A
October leaves
           E
October leaves

E             C#m  A
October leaves
           E
October leaves

C#m              G#       A
I woke up this morning, you were off to work
C#m              G#       B         A
No kisses, no coffee, no morning paper

( A )

"Hey"
"Yes?"
"Are you sleeping?"
"No"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes"
"Are you cheating on me?"
"No"
"Are you lying?"
