Since the day you were born
D#m A7M
I've been searching for the Octobers
E
I remember
F#
The late afternoon
D#m A7M
Air crisp as a Julien apple
E
With a handful
F#
Of gravel to throw
D#m A7M
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 A7M
Now I'm searching for an October
E
To show ya

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

Gm A#7M Dm
And the blowup ghosts still haunt the neighbors' lawns"

We shall be saved
A#7M Gm Dm Am
By the words coming out of the mouths of babes

Am A#7M Gm Dm
Ain't you wonderin' if you're gonna be laughing or coughing all the way to the bank?"

Mine was when I was toddling

And they and you and all of this
C#m7
Remind me son that ever since
F#
The day you were born
D#m A7M
I've been searching for my Octobers

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

Will be the ones we're
