Am
Bilmem hangi rüzgar attı, nerden esti tuttum
Em
Hangi dalga sayesinde kıyıma kadar vurdun
Fmaj7 Am
Dön nerden geldiysen eğer oraya, söyleyeceklerini suya yaz
Am
Okunabilir ama bu çok zor bir ihtimal
Em
Dokunabilir, kağıt denizi gözler ıslatır
Fmaj7 Am
Yenilebilir ama yutulabilir değil, dibinde yüzenin karşısında
Am Em
Bu nasıl bir sır, sahte parantezler açma sakın
Fmaj7 Am
Nokta kadar dürüst olamadın, ey anam ey yine beni kandırdın
Em
Nefesini tut, son sözlerini de yut
Fmaj7 Am
Ölümün önüne yürek koyamadın, gel yine gel, ben seni kandırmam
Am Em Fmaj7
Burdaysan hep kal benim ol, bu evde hazır yerin var
Am
Korkarsan yine kal benim ol, ikimiz için yüreğim var
Em Fmaj7
Sanırım bu seni son defa görüşüm, Ağustos sırılsıklam
Am
Eylül'ü sen nerden bilesin
Am
Kabası alınmış bir ev gibiyim, uzaktan bakınca temiz
Em
Dokunan anlar ancak gizlenilmiş kirliliğimi
Fmaj7 Am
O perde aslında hakiydi, zamanla kahverengileşti, parmakların anlatmalı
Am
Bu sessizlik sakın kulaklarını aldatmasın
Em
Parmak uçlarınla yürü hatıralar uyanmasın
Fmaj7 Am
Şu an kendini yalnız bildiğin kadar kalabalıktasın, korkuyorsun farkındayım
Am Em
Geri adım at ya da korkuna kaşları çat
Fmaj7 Am
Yüzleşmeye değecek bu inat e hadi göster yüreğin varsa
Em
Nefesini tut son sözlerini de yut
Fmaj7 Am
Öldürmez seni aşk

Harmony analysis
Alper Ayyıldız – Ağustos Sırılsıklam: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Am and ends on Am. Its chords belong to both C major and Am, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
A minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = F (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = G (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because it both starts and finishes on Am and Am is heard 19 times while C never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from C major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is C major and its relative A minor (no sharps or flats). 3 different chords appear 41 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
Chord movement
- Fmaj7 Am CIVmaj7 → vi AmVImaj7 → iVI → i ×11
The move to watch is Fmaj7 → Am, heard 11 times. From the Am side it is VImaj7 → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the C side it reads IVmaj7 → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- C major pentatonic and A minor pentatonic are the same five notes (C – D – E – G – A): start from C for a brighter phrase, from A for a bluesier one.
- Over Am, land on A, C, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Em, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Fmaj7, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Am lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Am, Em, Fmaj7; read them as vi–iii–IVmaj7 in C or i–v–VImaj7 in Am. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Fmaj7 → Am (IVmaj7 → vi in C, VImaj7 → i in Am): VI → i — falls a half step into home. It closes on Am, letting the Am side have the last word.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
