Drew Womack - Leaving October Behing
Capo 2nd fret
Intro - Cadd9 - G = 4x's
(Intro is a mandolin and acoustic guitar)
(Verse 1)
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)
(same chords as 2nd verse)
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
(Bridge)
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
(mando part) Em - Cadd9 - D
(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 (outro)
I'm looking forward to leaving October behind
