Cadd9                               G
The autumn leaves they rush outside my window
            Cadd9                                 G   D/F#
Like they've got something so important they must do
Cadd9                           G   D/F#   Em
   Sara will be home now any minute
              Am7                                   D
She likes her third grade class and looks so much like you
 Verse 2 
           Cadd9                             G
I struck a match to light the furnace in the hallway
       Cadd9                                  G   D/F# 
I could smell the summer dust burning in the vent
          Cadd9                                  G   D/F#  Em7
It's just another thing that brings your memory back  to   me
        Am7                               Em7                D
I think Sara knows I'm troubled by that scent she reads my mind, Hey
 Chorus 
          G             G/B     Cadd9    D
I'm just fine until the end of September
          G      Em7       Cadd9    D
Then I remember losing you October '89
           G         G/B              Cadd9   Am7
But if I live in the past, there's no future
              G           D             Cadd9   Cadd9   G   Cadd9   G
I'm looking forward to leaving October behind
 Verse 3 
 
There's a girl I really like down at the office
Me and Sara asked her out for New Year's Eve
It made me cry when I told her all about us
But Sara says there's nothing wrong with me
It just takes time
 Chorus 
          G             G/B     Cadd9    D
I'm just fine until the end of September
          G        Em       Cadd9    D
Then I remember losing you October '89
           G         G/B              Cadd9   Am7
But if I live in the past, there's no future
              G           D               G   D/F#
I'm looking forward to leaving October behind
 
 Em7                 Am7
All things work for good
      D                 G
Has become my favorite Verse
 D    Em7               Am7
Sara told me that they would
             Cadd9      Cadd9
But when the nights get cold
          D          G/B   Em   D/F#   Cadd9    Em7   Am7
And the leaves turn  rust    and             go     ld
         D
That's when your memory hurts
 Chorus 
          G             G/B     Cadd9    D
I'm just fine until the end of September
          G        Em7      Cadd9    D
Then I remember losing you October '89
           G         G/B              Cadd9  Am7
But if I live in the past, there's no future
              G           D             G  A 
I'm looking forward to leaving October be-hind
              Cadd9                        Cadd9   G  
I'm looking forward to leaving October behind
