Intro: E 

Verse 
          F# 
Since the day you were born 
          D#m               Amaj7 
I've been searching for the Octobers 
     E 
I remember 
F# A#m Amaj7 

    F# 
The late afternoon 
    D#m               Amaj7 
Air crisp as a Julien apple 
       E 
With a handful 
    F# 
Of gravel to throw 
       D#m                    Amaj7 
At the bats swooping over the neighborhood 
E                                    C#m 
My jacket zipped up to the hood with love I never understood 
         F# 
'Til the day you were born 
        D#m              Amaj7 
Now I'm searching for an October 
E 
To show ya 

Instrumental 
F# D#m Amaj7 x3 
E 

     F# 
Then son you spied 
          D#m 
With your momma's blue eyes 
        Amaj7 
From my shoulders 
E 
Your October 
         F#             D#m                  Amaj7 
Saying "ha ha daddy the ghosties are scary I like them and 
E 
My jacket may be lighter than 
      C#m 
Yours was when you were toddling 
E                                            C#m 
And the leaves may not be hanging in there long 
A#m                   C# 
But it's colder than September was 
          Dm                A#maj7 
You still make the cider momma loves 
        Gm                 A#maj7                   Dm 
And the blowup ghosts still haunt the neighbors' lawns" 

Instrumental 
Am A#maj7 Gm 
Dm Am A#maj7 Gm 

                    Dm  Am 
We shall be saved 
A#maj7             Gm                        Dm    Am 
By the words coming out of the mouths of babes 
         A#maj7             Gm 
Not the glow of a cellular phone singing 
            Dm 
"Hey hey hey 
Am                            A#maj7               Gm                           Dm 
Ain't you wonderin' if you're gonna be laughing or coughing all the way to the bank?" 

Am  A#maj7 Gm 
                    Dm  Am 
We shall be saved 
A#maj7             Gm                        Dm    Am 
By the words coming out of the mouths of babes 
         A#maj7             Gm 
Not the glow of a cellular phone singing 
            Dm 
"Hey hey hey 
Am                            A#maj7               Gm                           Bm - 
Ain't you wonderin' if you're gonna be laughing or coughing all the way to the bank?" 

Bm                 D 
Your jacket may be lighter than 
      D#m            B 
Mine was when I was toddling 
         F# 
But the leaves are really hanging in there 
B 
Pretty as a gift shop picture 
      E 
It's colder than September was 
             C#m7 
I can still make the cider momma loves 
         E                                       C#m7 
And the blowup ghosts still haunt the neighbors' lawns 
  E 
And they and you and all of this 
  C#m7 
Remind me son that ever since 
F# 
The day you were born 
      D#m                  Amaj7 
I've been searching for my Octobers 
F#                                     D#m                                     Amaj7        F# 
You've been searching for nothing and seeing whatever's in front of you and so now do your mother and I 
            D#m 
And in the blink of an eye 
       A 
Your Octobers 
E 
Will be the ones we're 
F# 
Remembering
