[Intro] D [Verse]
D
Hey, don't I know you from somewhere

             G           D 
Yeah, it was down in New Orleans

                G               D
In one of those backstreet bars in the French Quarter

         F
Between Desire Street and Honalee

           D
You were dancin' with a friend of Michael's

     G             D 
I remember how we met

         G              D
You were talkin' to ol' Jimmy

         F
And you lit my cigarette
[Chorus]
F              D
  How come you can't remember?

        Dm               D
This is me you're talkin to

     F   Dm      D
From May through September

         F       G      D
It was all about me and you, baby

         F       G      D
It was all about me and you
[Verse]
        G    
Well it looks like to me

              D
That you have conveniently

G         D
Forgotten everything

     G                  D   
This confusion that has surrounded you

          F
Is your morality and not your brain

             G                    D
You've got a birthmark below your navel

           G                     D
You wear a size seven and a half shoe

             G                  D 
You got this Rolex watch that I suspect you cobbed

             F
From that doctor who said he loved you
[Chorus]
F              D
  How come you can't remember?

        Dm               D
This is me you're talkin to

     F   Dm      D
From May through September

         F       G      D
It was all about me and you, baby

         F       G      D
It was all about me and you
[Instrumental] A D A D [Verse]
         G            D
Well you told me that you lived on the wind

       G                      D
Like a bird who never touched the ground

    G      D
And if you did you would surely die

           F
Without making a sound

      G           D
Live, let's live, that's all you kept sayin'

G                  D
And our summer was full of life

      G               D
We're gonna send them a postcard

              G                  D 
And show 'em what it's like to be alive

             G                  D 
But I never wanted to leave your side

             G                  D 
No, I just couldn't believe that you'd lie

                             F
No, I never wanted to say good-bye, baby
[Chorus]
F              D
  How come you can't remember?

        Dm               D
This is me you're talkin to

     F   Dm      D
From May through September

         F       G      D
It was all about me and you, baby

         F       G      D
It was all about me and you
