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