[Intro]

[Verse]
D
Hey, don't I know you from somewhere
G D
Yeah, it was down in New Orleans
G D
In one of those backstreet bars in the French Quarter
F
Between Desire Street and Honalee
D
You were dancin' with a friend of Michael's
G D
I remember how we met
G D
You were talkin' to ol' Jimmy
F
And you lit my cigarette
[Chorus]
F D
How come you can't remember?
Dm D
This is me you're talkin to
F Dm D
From May through September
F G D
It was all about me and you, baby
F G D
It was all about me and you
[Verse]
G
Well it looks like to me
D
That you have conveniently
G D
Forgotten everything
G D
This confusion that has surrounded you
F
Is your morality and not your brain
G D
You've got a birthmark below your navel
G D
You wear a size seven and a half shoe
G D
You got this Rolex watch that I suspect you cobbed
F
From that doctor who said he loved you
[Chorus]
F D
How come you can't remember?
Dm D
This is me you're talkin to
F Dm D
From May through September
F G D
It was all about me and you, baby
F G D
It was all about me and you
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G D
Well you told me that you lived on the wind
G D
Like a bird who never touched the ground
G D
And if you did you would surely die
F
Without making a sound
G D
Live, let's live, that's all you kept sayin'
G D
And our summer was full of life
G D
We're gonna send them a postcard
G D
And show 'em what it's like to be alive
G D
But I never wanted to leave your side
G D
No, I just couldn't believe that you'd lie
F
No, I never wanted to say good-bye, baby
[Chorus]
F D
How come you can't remember?
Dm D
This is me you're talkin to

From May through September
