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
