October Leaves

	  		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?"
