E   A   E   A

[Verse 1]
B        E                           A
I still see you in the corner of my eye
        E
Walking down the streets of New York City
F#m7          B               E
Never felt so dark or made me cry
                        A
Autumn stings a little more this time of year
E                                F#m7                B
Children scream in celebration, oh, you'd hate these decorations

[Chorus]
A             F#m7          E
Oh I knew you hated carving faces into pumpkins
                                  A
It scared you the way they smiled back
        F#m7                E
October hurts when I’m not wasted
                A
I'm thinking on bittersweet memories
   B                         E
Of how you always hated Halloween

[Interlude]
A   E   F#m7

[Verse 2]
B     E                                 A
Every witch and werewolf knocking at my door
        E
Holds a smiling face, an empty bag
    F#m                B             E
Thе same routine you'd whine about bеfore
                  A                                     E
But I open hoping you’ll be there, dressed in something childish
                F#m7    B
Oh my wish: to see you again

[Chorus]
A             F#m7          E
Oh I knew you hated carving faces into pumpkins
                                  A
It scared you the way they smiled back
        F#m7                E
October hurts when I'm not wasted
                A
I'm thinking on bittersweet memories
   B                         C#m7
Of how you always hated Halloween

[Bridge]
          B
Won't you come to me
   A
Let's make costumes fun again
B                            C#m
Drink and talk until it's 5 AM
    B
I remember when
A
Hallow's Eve was
G#m       E
About grieving
F#m               B N.C.
For the ghosts we leave behind

[Verse 3]
N.C.     E                       A
Once the candy bowl is empty I retire
      E
In my living room, a beer in hand
  F#m              B        E
A toast with every can till I'm too tired
                                 A N.C.
I’m on the couch each night with you on my mind
   E
An open can for you each year
F#m            B
Sleeping in my drunken tears

[Chorus]
A             F#m7          E
Oh I knew you hated carving faces into pumpkins
                                  A
It scared you the way they smiled back
        F#m7                E
October hurts when I'm not wasted
                A
I'm thinking on bittersweet memories
   B                     E    A
Of how you always hated Halloween
