Intro:  -  -  - 

Verse 1:
             /
I wish it was last September.
                
We could lose ourselves in crowds everyday.
            /
Cos Emaline, don't walk in time,
                         
She's not the same that's all you can say.
     
When I've heard enough, I tell myself -
                                                             
That we've learnt our lesson, but I don't wanna walk away from Ema-line


Verse 2:
/                          
  They're talking now  Does she know what they're saying?
                  /
She's got the air,   to float above it
                  
I'm sinking in the summer champagne.
                /        
She's dear to me, and so ex - pens - ive.
            
Now I'm not talking 'bout money.
             
Money talks,   I hate to listen,
                    
But lately it's been screamin' in my ear.
     
When I've heard enough, I tell myself -
                                      
That we've learnt our lesson, 
                                     -  -  - 
But I don't wanna walk away from Ema-line.


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

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

Ending:
    
Now I've heard enough, I'll tell you what.
              
Really shouldn't sit here and whine,
                                - / -  - 
I'll take you down to see my Emaline.
