October

          C
It's in smiles

A lover’s eyes
          Dm               
It’s in joy when it needs no 
C                F
disguise
        F      C          Dm   C
It’s in fairytales and 
     F      C        G
lullabies; stories that hold true

[Verse 2]
        C
It’s in hugs

Apple pies
        Dm               C    
It’s in love that grows old but 
          F
never dies
F            C              F    
     These things make me glad to
 C     Gsus4         G
 be alive

[Chorus]
      Am  F     C
We’ll never be able
      C            F
To treasure life enough
     F                C    
When death comes my heart is 
      Gsus4                G
overcome

      Am  F     C
We’ll never be able
       C           F
To treasure life enough
     F           C               
When death comes I start looking 
Gsus4                G
up

[Verse 3]
        C
Little legs

They sit upon a shoulder
        Dm                      C 
It’s in blonde curls that won’t be
                      F
 there when she’s older
        F        C           Dm  
It’s in raising up what was 
      C
raised in us
         F      C     G
Spending Sunday in a pew

[Verse 4]
              C
And it’s in Fall

Winter Summer Spring
           Dm               C     
When we’re driving down the road 
            F
and start to sing
        F                       C 
Falling leaves and clear blue 
               Dm                  
skies and all the things we’ve made
   G
 it through

[Chorus]
            Am F      C
Ohhhh I’ll never be able
        C             F
To treasure life enough
       F              C    
When death comes my heart is 
      Gsus4             G
overcome

                Am F      C
And though I’ll never be able
       C             F
To treasure life enough
       F         C                
When death comes I start looking 
Gsus4            G
up

[Chorus]
      Am  F     C
We’ll never be able
       C            F
To treasure life enough
       F                C         
When death comes it’s a window to 
    Gsus4        G
my past

            Am  F      C
Though I’ll never be able
        C           F
To treasure life enough
        F                  C   
When death comes I try to find a 
            Gsus4   G
life that will    last
                        Am
Cause life is going so fast
                   F
Life is going so fast


[Ending]
                     Am
Dear heart stay sober
F                    G
     It is only October
          F                     G 
Octobers end and tired hearts mend
               C
