Chords with lyrics

Intro:
E MajorE

Verse:
     F#F#
Since the day you were born
     D#mD#m        Amaj7Amaj7
I've been searching for the Octobers
   E MajorE
I remember
F#F# A#mA#m Amaj7Amaj7

  F#F#
The late afternoon
  D#mD#m        Amaj7Amaj7
Air crisp as a Julien apple
    E MajorE
With a handful
  F#F#
Of gravel to throw
    D#mD#m          Amaj7Amaj7
At the bats swooping over the neighborhood
E MajorE                  C# minorC#m
My jacket zipped up to the hood with love I never understood
     F#F#
'Til the day you were born
    D#mD#m       Amaj7Amaj7
Now I'm searching for an October
E MajorE
To show ya

Instrumental:
F#F# D#mD#m Amaj7Amaj7 x3
E MajorE

   F#F#
Then son you spied
     D#mD#m
With your momma's blue eyes
    Amaj7Amaj7
From my shoulders
E MajorE
Your October
     F#F#       D#mD#m         Amaj7Amaj7
Saying "ha ha daddy the ghosties are scary I like them and
E MajorE
My jacket may be lighter than
   C# minorC#m
Yours was when you were toddling
E MajorE                      C# minorC#m
And the leaves may not be hanging in there long
A#mA#m          C#C#
But it's colder than September was
     DmDm        A#Maj7A#maj7
You still make the cider momma loves
    G minorGm         A#Maj7A#maj7          DmDm
And the blowup ghosts still haunt the neighbors' lawns"

Instrumental:
A minorAm A#Maj7A#maj7 G minorGm
DmDm A minorAm A#Maj7A#maj7 G minorGm

          DmDm A minorAm
We shall be saved
A#Maj7A#maj7       G minorGm            DmDm  A minorAm
By the words coming out of the mouths of babes
     A#Maj7A#maj7       G minorGm
Not the glow of a cellular phone singing
      DmDm
"Hey hey hey
A minorAm              A#Maj7A#maj7        G minorGm              DmDm
Ain't you wonderin' if you're gonna be laughing or coughing all the way to the bank?"

A minorAm A#Maj7A#maj7 G minorGm
          DmDm A minorAm
We shall be saved
A#Maj7A#maj7       G minorGm            DmDm  A minorAm
By the words coming out of the mouths of babes
     A#Maj7A#maj7       G minorGm
Not the glow of a cellular phone singing
      DmDm
"Hey hey hey
A minorAm              A#Maj7A#maj7        G minorGm              B minorBm -
Ain't you wonderin' if you're gonna be laughing or coughing all the way to the bank?"

B minorBm         D MajorD
Your jacket may be lighter than
   D#mD#m      BB
Mine was when I was toddling
     F#F#
But the leaves are really hanging in there
BB
Pretty as a gift shop picture
   E MajorE
It's colder than September was
       C#m7C#m7
I can still make the cider momma loves
     E MajorE                    C#m7C#m7
And the blowup ghosts still haunt the neighbors' lawns
 E MajorE
And they and you and all of this
 C#m7C#m7
Remind me son that ever since
F#F#
The day you were born
   D#mD#m         Amaj7Amaj7
I've been searching for my Octobers
F#F#                   D#mD#m                   Amaj7Amaj7    F#F#
You've been searching for nothing and seeing whatever's in front of you and so now do your mother and I
      D#mD#m
And in the blink of an eye
    A augmentedA
Your Octobers
E MajorE
Will be the ones we're
F#F#
Remembering
