VERSE 1: [F] Your ever lastin' [C/E] summer
You can [Dm7] see it fadin' [C] fast [F] So you grab a piece of [C/E] somethin'
That you [Dm7] think is gonna [C] last
Well, [Gm] you wouldn't even know [F] a diamond
If [Fm] you held it in [C] your hand [F] The things you think are [C/E] precious
I just [Dm7] can't under-[C open]-stand
CHORUS:
Are you reelin' in the [A#] years
Stowin' away the [C] time
Are you gatherin' up the [A#] tears
Have you had enough of [C] mine
VERSE 2: [F] You been tellin' me you're a [C/E] genius
Since [Dm7] you were seven-[C]-teen
In [F] all the time I've [C/E] known you
I still [Dm7] don't know what you [C] mean
The [Gm] weekend at the [F] college
Didn't [Fm] turn out like you [C] planned
The [F] things that pass for [C/E] knowledge
I just [Dm7] can't under-[C open]-stand
VERSE 3: [F] I spend a lot of [C/E] money
And I [Dm7] spent a lot of [C] time
The [F] trip we made to [C/E] Hollywood
Is [Dm7] etched upon my [C] mind
After [Gm] all the things we've [F] done and seen
You find [Fm] another [C] man
The [F] things you think are [C/E] useless
I [Dm7] can't under-[C open]-stand
