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 Ema-line


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 ex - pens - ive.
            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 Ema-line.


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 Sep - tember.
      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 att - en - tion.
                    G2
Or are you diffrent than all mine?
G                   D2/F#
For all it's worth, she's got attention.
A                     G2
But people accuse you 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.
