I just started playing guitar and was wondering if anyone could play this song on guitar

I originally tried it in "F", but now I think it is "F#"

So now I was wondering if there was anyone out there that knew the tabs/chords for this song cuz I'm all confused

I tried looking on line but the one I found didnt help me

I'm thinking the chorus is:

F(barre) C Bb
My only hope, my only peace
C Bb F(barre)
My only joy, my only strength
C Bb
My only power, my only life
F(barre)-Drop 6th String
My only love

but as I was saying I think it's up a half-step

Any tips/tricks to playing this song (yes I know there are 2 guitars in it) would be GREATLY appreciated

thanks a lot

Joe

October

I can't run anymore,
I fall before you,
Here I am,
I have nothing left,
Though I've tried to forget,
You're all that I am,
Take me home,
I'm through fighting it,
Broken,
Lifeless,
I give up,
You're my only strength,
Without you,
I can't go on,
Anymore,
Ever again.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

I can't run anymore,
I give myself to you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
In all my bitterness,
I ignored,
All that's real and true,
All I need is you,
When night falls on me,
I'll not close my eyes,
I'm too alive,
And you're too strong,
I can't lie anymore,
I fall down before you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

Constantly ignoring,
The pain consuming me,
But this time it's cut too deep,
I'll never stray again.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love,
My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

Why is the name of the song October? There is no word 'October' in the song lyrics. Have you got an idea?

I'm thinking it could be an emotional connection to what the song was written about. Or how the month makes them feel. October is a turning point for most places where Autumn begins. ANd the song does speak of a turning point in a relationship. So, I guess that could be an explanation. You'd probably have to ask Ben if you want to know exactly why it's called October.

Is this a Christian song? I took it as a VERY religious song!

I don't hear anything religious in the lyrics. How did you guess this assumption?

Well, me being a Christian, I tend to stray from God. The lyrics of this song just sounds like maybe she's realizing that she's straying and it's hurt her more than she knew. I don't know, I'm a big Christian so...that's just what I got out of it!
