August Is Over Chords

Tuning: Standard EADGBe



Verse 1:
       E# 
Say a prayer
                      C#m
The summer nights are dead

The fall is coming
    A#
We were careless hearts
               B#
Who got caught up in this


         E#
You were shy
                           C#m
To the night you drove me wild

And you crashed into me
    A#
And I won't lie
            B#
I wish it lasted a lifetime


Pre-Chorus:
        A#
Please stay-ay-ay
           E#
Won't you stay-ay-ay
 B#
Tonight


Chorus:
 E#
Breathe in deep

And say goodbye
     C#m
The saddest song

I'll ever write
     A#         B#
For anyone, anytime


 E#
Breathe in deep

Before I say
    C#m
I can feel us slip away
        A#
You're almost gone
        B#
You're good as gone

August is over


Verse 2:
    E#
No wait
                    C#m
Cause August had to end

All our bags are packed
         A#
Just two broken hearts
                B#
That got caught up in this


     E#
I deny
                         C#m
That tomorrow you'll be gone

And so far from me
      A#
It's something strange
       B#
Never love the same way


Pre-Chorus:
         A#
Please stay-ay-ay
           E#
Won't you stay-ay-ay
 B#
Tonight


Chorus:
 E#
Breathe in deep

And say goodbye
     C#m
The saddest song

I'll ever write
     A#       B#
For anyone, anytime


 E#
Breathe in deep

Before I say
 C#m 
I can feel us slip away
        A#
You're almost gone
        B#
You're good as gone


Bridge:
      C#m
We can try to drown it out
       A#
But it never stops breathing
        E#
We can take it all in
        B#                       
But it never slows down
 C#m        B#              A#
We've come down from that cloud


      A#
Well say-ay-ay
               E#
What you gotta say-ay-ay
       A#
Please say-ay-ay

What you gotta say
 E#(ring out)
Whoa-a-oh-oh

Whoa-a-oh-oh


Chorus:
  E#
Breathe in deep

And say goodbye
     C#m
The saddest song

I'll ever write
     A#      B#
For anyone, anytime


 E#
Breathe in deep

Before I say
C#m
I can feel us slip away
        A#
You're almost gone
        B#
You're good as gone
                E#                   C#m
August is over
                 A#                    B#
We're not the reason
              E# (ring out)
August is over
