       D#
Say a prayer
                      G#
The summer nights are dead
The fall is coming
   Fm
We were careless hearts
         G#
Who got caught up in this
          D#
You were shy
                           G#
To the night you drove me wild
And you crashed into me
    Fm
And I won't lie
           A#
I wish it lasted a lifetime

        G#
Please stay-ay-ay
           Cm
Won't you stay-ay-ay
  A#
Tonight

Chorus:
Cm
Breathe in deep
    A#
And say goodbye
    G#
The saddest song
     A#
I'll ever write
    Fm     A#
For anyone anytime
D#
Breathe in deep
  A#
Before I say
G#             A#
I can feel us slip away
       Fm
You're almost gone
        A#
You're good as gone
August is over

Now we wait
Cause August had to end
All our bags are packed
Just two broken hearts
That got caught up in this
I deny
That tomorrow you'll be gone
And so far from me
It's something strange
Never love the same way

Please stay-ay-ay
Won't you stay-ay-ay
Tonight

Chorus:
Breathe in deep
And say goodbye
The saddest song
I'll ever write
For anyone, anytime
Breathe in deep
Before I say
I can feel us slip away
You're almost gone
You're good as gone

       Cm
We can try to drown it out
       A#
But it never stops breathing
       G#
We can take it all in
       D#
But it never slows down
Cm          A#             G#
We've come down from that cloud

        G#
Please stay-ay-ay
           D#     Fm
Won't you stay-ay-ay
        G#
Please stay-ay-ay
                       D#
What you gotta say you want
ohhh ohh ohh

Chorus:
Breathe in deep
And say goodbye
The saddest song
I'll ever write
For anyone, anytime
Breathe in deep
Before I say
I can feel us slip away
You're almost gone
You're good as gone
August is over
We're not the reason
August is over
