Calvin And The Ghosties

E

[Verse]
          F#
Since the day you were born
          D#m               Amaj7
I've been searching for the Octobers
     E
I remember
F# A#m Amaj7

    F#
The late afternoon
    D#m               Amaj7
Air crisp as a Julien apple
       E
With a handful
    F#
Of gravel to throw
       D#m                    Amaj7
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              Amaj7
Now I'm searching for an October
E
To show ya

[Instrumental]
F# D#m Amaj7 x3
E

     F#
Then son you spied
          D#m
With your momma's blue eyes
        Amaj7
From my shoulders
E
Your October
         F#             D#m                  Amaj7
Saying "ha ha daddy the ghosties are scary I like them and
E
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
          Dm                A#maj7
You still make the cider momma loves
        Gm                 A#maj7                   Dm
And the blowup ghosts still haunt the neighbors' lawns"

[Instrumental]
Am A#maj7 Gm
Dm Am A#maj7 Gm

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

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

Bm                 D
Your jacket may be lighter than
      D#m            B
Mine was when I was toddling
         F#
But the leaves are really hanging in there
B
Pretty as a gift shop picture
      E
It's colder than September was
             C#m7
I can still make the cider momma loves
         E                                       C#m7
And the blowup ghosts still haunt the neighbors' lawns
  E
And they and you and all of this
  C#m7
Remind me son that ever since
F#
The day you were born
      D#m                  Amaj7
I've been searching for my Octobers
F#                                     D#m                                     Amaj7   
You've been searching for nothing and seeing whatever's in front of you and so now do your 
     F#
mother and I
            D#m
And in the blink of an eye
       A
Your Octobers
E
Will be the ones we're
F#
