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