The autumn leaves they rush outside my window

Like they've got something so important they must do

Sara will be home now any minute

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

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

Then I remember losing you October '89

But if I live in the past, there's no future

I'm looking forward to leaving October behind

It just takes time
(Chorus)

Cadd9 Cadd9
But when the nights get cold
