INTRO: E B​ A 
 
E 
It's the brink of summer's end 
B 
and all I've been doing  
E 
is trying to dream away  
            A 
everything we had been 
 
E 
There was a time and place for me, 
B 
and you were at that time 
E 
and at the right place 
 	  	   A 
for where I had wanted to be 
 
F#m 
So I’ll hit that open road and I will 
A 	             E 	  
just get lost yet again 
 
F#m 
But if lady luck could have her say 
A 
I’d wind up in a place 
 	      E 
Where I’d pull the bottle from your mouth 
F#m 	  
and you could 
 	       A 
finish your sentences 
 	       E 
finish your sentences 
 
E 
I’m sure the people are talking now 
B 
I'm sure they have been for a while 
E 	  	  	  	           A 
As I think about the words, the ones you left out 
A 	  	  	   	 E 
as you winked and smiled. 
 
E 
But now there's someone on the line 
B 
and she’s been there for some time 
E 
But she don't know to say the words, 
          A 	  	  	  	  	 E 
That you once knew how best to recite. 
 
F#m 
So I’ll drift into a haze, 
A 	         E 	  
dream away another day 
 
chorus 
F#m 
But if lady luck could stop her laughing 
A 
I’d wind up in a place 
 	             E 
where I could pull the bottle from your mouth 
F#m 	  
and you could 
 	       A 
finish your sentences 
 	       E 
finish your sentences 
 
E 
Now as summer draws to an end, 
B 
all I've been doing 
E 
is trying to drink away 
 	 A 	  	 E 
everything we'd been.
