October Leaves

Intro

E  C#m  A  E
         E  C#m  A  E
E          C#m       A
I stumbled in at 3 a.m.
                 E
But you didn’t want to
E          C#m            A
I tried again at half past ten
                 E
You still don’t want to
A                           Am
Your hips have this way of saying no way
C#m      B         A
An impenetrable barricade
             E       G#
Something I said? Something I did?
C#m          B       A
What’s made you so defensive?
             E       G#
Something you heard? Something you learned?
C#m          B       A
The season’s changing, it’s for the worse
( E  C#m  A  E )
E          C#m       A
You used to call me on your break
                 E
But you’ve been so busy
E          C#m       A
You used to bring me tomato soup
                 E
But you keep forgetting
A                           Am
As the groundskeeper rakes up the October leaves
C#m             B         A
It occurs to me, trees can’t hide anything
             E       G#
Something I said? Something I did?
C#m          B       A
You’ve been acting so distant
             E       G#
Something you heard? Something you learned?
C#m          B       A
The trees are barren, the leaves have turned
C#m              G#       A
The days when we made it the world was green
C#m              G#       B         A
Now autumn has fallen, everything’s changed
E             C#m  A
October leaves
           E
October leaves
E             C#m  A
October leaves
           E
October leaves
C#m              G#       A
I woke up this morning, you were off to work
C#m              G#       B         A
No kisses, no coffee, no morning paper
( A )
"Hey"
"Yes?"
"Are you sleeping?"
"No"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes"
"Are you cheating on me?"
"No"
"Are you lying?"
