G                Bm           

like my father"s come to pass 

Em              D            

seven years has gone so fast 

C          Cm             G    

wake me up when September ends    

Em             Bm         

here comes the rain again 

C                G     

falling from the stars 

Em             Bm         

drenched in my pain again 

C               D   

becoming who we are     

G           Bm     

as my memory rests     

Em            D           

but never forgets what I lost 

C          D              G    

wake me up when September ends

summer has come and passed                              

the innocent can never last                                 

wake me up when September ends     

ring out the bells again                                

like we did when spring began                                 

wake me up when September ends                                

here comes the rain again

falling from the stars                            

drenched in my pain again                      

becoming who we are                         

as my memory rests

but never forgets what I lost                                 

wake me up when September ends                                 

Summer has come and passed                              

The innocent can never last

wake me up when September ends                                    

like my father"s come to pass                                

twenty years has gone so fast                                 

wake me up when September ends                                 

wake me up when September ends                                 

wake me up when September ends
