VERSE 1: [E] Your ever lastin' [B/D#] summer
You can [C#m7] see it fadin' [B] fast [E] So you grab a piece of [B/D#] somethin'
That you [C#m7] think is gonna [B] last
Well, [F#m] you wouldn't even know [E] a diamond
If [Em] you held it in [B] your hand [E] The things you think are [B/D#] precious
I just [C#m7] can't under-[B open]-stand
CHORUS:
Are you reelin' in the [A] years
Stowin' away the [B] time
Are you gatherin' up the [A] tears
Have you had enough of [B] mine
VERSE 2: [E] You been tellin' me you're a [B/D#] genius
Since [C#m7] you were seven-[B]-teen
In [E] all the time I've [B/D#] known you
I still [C#m7] don't know what you [B] mean
The [F#m] weekend at the [E] college
Didn't [Em] turn out like you [B] planned
The [E] things that pass for [B/D#] knowledge
I just [C#m7] can't under-[B open]-stand
VERSE 3: [E] I spend a lot of [B/D#] money
And I [C#m7] spent a lot of [B] time
The [E] trip we made to [B/D#] Hollywood
Is [C#m7] etched upon my [B] mind
After [F#m] all the things we've [E] done and seen
You find [Em] another [B] man
The [E] things you think are [B/D#] useless
I [C#m7] can't under-[B open]-stand
