VERSE 1: [D] Your ever lastin' [A/C#] summer
You can [Bm7] see it fadin' [A] fast [D] So you grab a piece of [A/C#] somethin'
That you [Bm7] think is gonna [A] last
Well, [Em] you wouldn't even know [D] a diamond
If [Dm] you held it in [A] your hand [D] The things you think are [A/C#] precious
I just [Bm7] can't under-[A open]-stand
CHORUS:
Are you reelin' in the [G] years
Stowin' away the [A] time
Are you gatherin' up the [G] tears
Have you had enough of [A] mine
VERSE 2: [D] You been tellin' me you're a [A/C#] genius
Since [Bm7] you were seven-[A]-teen
In [D] all the time I've [A/C#] known you
I still [Bm7] don't know what you [A] mean
The [Em] weekend at the [D] college
Didn't [Dm] turn out like you [A] planned
The [D] things that pass for [A/C#] knowledge
I just [Bm7] can't under-[A open]-stand
VERSE 3: [D] I spend a lot of [A/C#] money
And I [Bm7] spent a lot of [A] time
The [D] trip we made to [A/C#] Hollywood
Is [Bm7] etched upon my [A] mind
After [Em] all the things we've [D] done and seen
You find [Dm] another [A] man
The [D] things you think are [A/C#] useless
I [Bm7] can't under-[A open]-stand
