VERSE 1: [C] Your ever lastin' [G/B] summer
You can [Am7] see it fadin' [G] fast [C] So you grab a piece of [G/B] somethin'
That you [Am7] think is gonna [G] last
Well, [Dm] you wouldn't even know [C] a diamond
If [Cm] you held it in [G] your hand [C] The things you think are [G/B] precious
I just [Am7] 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/B] genius
Since [Am7] you were seven-[G]-teen
In [C] all the time I've [G/B] known you
I still [Am7] don't know what you [G] mean
The [Dm] weekend at the [C] college
Didn't [Cm] turn out like you [G] planned
The [C] things that pass for [G/B] knowledge
I just [Am7] can't under-[G open]-stand
VERSE 3: [C] I spend a lot of [G/B] money
And I [Am7] spent a lot of [G] time
The [C] trip we made to [G/B] Hollywood
Is [Am7] etched upon my [G] mind
After [Dm] all the things we've [C] done and seen
You find [Cm] another [G] man
The [C] things you think are [G/B] useless
I [Am7] can't under-[G open]-stand
