Intro: G - D - A - G2 Verse 1:
G             D2/F#
I wish it was last September.

A                G2
We could lose ourselves in crowds everyday.

G            D2/F#
Cos Emaline, don't walk in time,

A                         G2
She's not the same that's all you can say.

     E
When I've heard enough, I tell myself -

            G/B       C2                  A                       G
That we've learnt our lesson, but I don't wanna walk away from Emaline
Verse 2:
D2/F#             A             G2
  They're talking now  Does she know what they're saying?

G                  D2/F#
She's got the air,   to float above it

A                  G2
I'm sinking in the summer champagne.

G                D2/F#     A
She's dear to me, and so expensive.

            G2
Now I'm not talking 'bout money.

G             D/F#
Money talks,   I hate to listen,

A                    G2
But lately it's been screamin' in my ear.

     E
When I've heard enough, I tell myself -

           G/B        C2
That we've learnt our lesson,

            A                       G - D - G/D - D
But I don't wanna walk away from Emaline.
Bridge:
F#5                 G5                     D
It only took me one look to understand Emaline,

                                  E
Sometimes I don't know what she's saying.

G               G                                  E
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, know what she's saying.

            C2   (ritenuto..)       A
But I know, I know, I know what she wants to be-lieve.
Verse 3:
G              D2/F#   A   -  G   (G - D - A - D) E . . . E . . . G
It wish it was last September.

      A                        G     D2/F#            A
Don't let me walk away from Emaline    For stupid reasons

        G2
Now I'm talking 'bout money.

G            D2/F#
Money talks, I hate to listen,

A                    G2
But lately it's been screaming in my ear.

G                 D2/F#            A
Yeah, what advice! Girls need attention.

           G2
Or are you different than all mine?

G                 D2/F#
For all it's worth, she's got attention.

A                    G2
But people like you see black and white.
Ending:
    E
Now I've heard enough, I'll tell you what.

       G/B       C2
Really shouldn't sit here and whine,

     A                          G - D2/F# - A - G
I'll take you down to see my Emaline.
