Verse 1:
EmD
How the time passed away
C
All the trouble that we gave
EmDC
And all those days we spent out by the lake
EmD
Has it all gone to waste
C
All the promises we made
EmDC
One by one they vanish just the same
Chorus:
GD
Of all the things I still remember
Em
Summer's never looked the same
C
The years go by and time just seems to fly
G
But the memories remain
D
In the middle of the September
Em
We'd still play out in the rain
C
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
DC
Reflecting now on how things could've been
EmDC
It was worth it in the end
Verse 2:
EmD
Now it all seems so clear
C
There's nothing left to fear
EmDC
So we made our way by finding what was real
EmD
Now the days are so long
C
That summer's moving on
EmDC
We reach for something that's already gone
Chorus:
GD
Of all the things I still remember
Em
Summer's never looked the same
C
The years go by and time just seems to fly
G
But the memories remain
D
In the middle of the September
Em
We'd still play out in the rain
C
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
DC
Reflecting now on how things could've been
GDEmC (strum down fast)
It was worth it in the end
Bridge:
GD
We knew we had to leave this town
Em
But we never knew when and we never knew how
C
We would end up here the way we are
GD
Yeah we knew we had to leave this town
EmC
But we never knew when and we never knew how
