Lyrics by Billie Joe and Music by Green Day

Intro: G

G          G/F#
Summer has come and passed,
    G/E          G/D
The innocent can never last.
C          Cm             G
Wake me up when September ends.

                 G/F#
Like my fathers’ come to pass,
G/E             G/D
Seven years has gone so fast.
C          Cm             G     G/F#
Wake me up when September ends.

   Em             Bm
   Here comes the rain again,
   C                G      G/F#
   Falling from the stars.
   Em             Bm
   Drenched in my pain again,
     C             D
   Becoming who we are.

As my memory rests,
But never forgets what I lost.
Wake me up when September ends.

Instrumental: G | G | G | G
              G | G | G

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,
   C                G      D/F#
   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.

Instrumental: G | G D/F# | Em
              Bm | C | G D/F#

              Em | Bm | C
              Dsus₄ | D | Dsus₄ | D
              G | G | G | G

Summer has come and passed,
The innocent can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.

Like my fathers’ come to pass,
Twenty years has gone so fast.
Wake me up when September ends.
C          Cm             G
Wake me up when September ends.
C          Cm             G     C Cm G
Wake me up when September ends.
