VERSE 1: [D#] Your ever lastin' [A#/D] summer
You can [Cm7] see it fadin' [A#] fast [D#] So you grab a piece of [A#/D] somethin'
That you [Cm7] think is gonna [A#] last
Well, [Fm] you wouldn't even know [D#] a diamond
If [D#m] you held it in [A#] your hand [D#] The things you think are [A#/D] precious
I just [Cm7] 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#/D] genius
Since [Cm7] you were seven-[A#]-teen
In [D#] all the time I've [A#/D] known you
I still [Cm7] don't know what you [A#] mean
The [Fm] weekend at the [D#] college
Didn't [D#m] turn out like you [A#] planned
The [D#] things that pass for [A#/D] knowledge
I just [Cm7] can't under-[A# open]-stand
VERSE 3: [D#] I spend a lot of [A#/D] money
And I [Cm7] spent a lot of [A#] time
The [D#] trip we made to [A#/D] Hollywood
Is [Cm7] etched upon my [A#] mind
After [Fm] all the things we've [D#] done and seen
You find [D#m] another [A#] man
The [D#] things you think are [A#/D] useless
I [Cm7] can't under-[A# open]-stand
