Verse 1:
F             C
I wish it was last September.
G                F
We could lose ourselves in crowds everyday.
F            C
Cos Emaline, don't walk in time,
G                         F
She's not the same that's all you can say.

When I've heard enough, I tell myself -
                                 Bb                G

That we've learnt our lesson, but I don't wanna walk away from Ema-line


Verse 2:
C             G             F
  They're talking now  Does she know what they're saying?
F                  C
She's got the air,   to float above it
G                  F
I'm sinking in the summer champagne.
F                C        G
She's dear to me, and so ex - pens - ive.
            F
Now I'm not talking 'bout money.
F             C
Money talks,   I hate to listen,
G                    F
But lately it's been screamin' in my ear.
     D
When I've heard enough, I tell myself -

But I don't wanna walk away from Ema-line.


Bridge:
E                  F                     C
It only took me one look to understand Emaline,
                                  D
Sometimes I don't know what she's saying.
F               F                                  D
Sometimes I do, Sometimes I don't, Know what she's saying.
           Bb   (ritenuto..)       G
But I know,I know, I know what she wants to be-lieve.

Verse 3:
F              C      G   -  F   [F - 
- G - F] D . . . D . . . Bb
It wish it was last Sep - tember.
      G                                                F    C 
         G
Don't let me walk away from Emaline    For stupid reasons
        F
Now I'm talking 'bout money.
F            C
Money talks, I hate to listen,
G                    F
But lately it's been screaming in my ear.
F                 C                  G
Yeah, what advice! Girls need att - en - tion.
                    F
Or are you diffrent than all mine?
F                   C
For all it's worth, she's got attention.
G                     F
From people like you see black and white.

Ending:

Now I've heard enough, I'll tell you what.

Really shouldn't sit here and whine,
