(Intro)
GbBbmB C#,
GbBbmBDb
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh, Oh
(Verse)
Gb
Like the first wheel goes around and around
Bbm
Well the trouble with up is there's always a down
B
First I'm holding your hand and we're on the boardwalk
Db
There's heaven right here on these streets and these docks
(Verse)
Gb
But the sun keeps settin', the days go fast
Bbm
And the sand the beach is like an hourglass
B
I can just feel it all slipping away
Db
And babe I can already say that
(Chorus)
GbEbm
As long I live, whatever I do
B
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
DbGb
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
Ebm
Baby it's true
B
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
DbGb
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you
(Instrumental)
GbEbmBDb
(Verse)
Gb
Before you know it it's all gonna stop
Bbm
They'll be rolling up windows and puttin' up tops
B
Be a cold wind blowin' the leaves through the air
Db
You won't find a tan line anywhere
(Verse)
Gb
Baby I know that it ain't over yet
Bbm
So let's make the most of what we have left
B
But it's hard living for this moment we're in and
Db
Knowing it's all gonna end…
(Chorus)
GbEbm
As long I live, whatever I do
B
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
DbGb
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
Ebm
Baby it's true
B
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
DbGb
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you
(Instrumental-Bridge)
GbEbmB C#, GbEbmBAbmDbDbBbm
Yeah looking at you, girl, standing there
B
Got your wayfarers on and the sun in your hair
Db
And just like the song in a seashell, you'll be stuck in my mind
Db
Bouncing around in my head and baby I can tell
(Chorus-out)
GbEbm
As long I live (as long as I live), whatever I do (Whatever I do)
B
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
DbGb
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
Ebm
Baby it's true
B
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
DbGbEbmBDb (fade)
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you
