DYour ever lastA/C#in' summer, you Bm7can see it fadin' faAst,
DSo you grab a piece ofA/C# somethin' that Bm7you think is gonna lAast.
Well, youA7/E wouldn't even knowEbdim a diamond if yDmou held it in your Ahand;
DThe things you thinkA/C# are precious I Bm7can't understanAd.
CHORUS:
Are you reelin' in the Gmaj9years, stowin away the tiAme?
Are you gatherin' up the Gmaj9tears, have you had enough of Amine
Are you reelin' in theGmaj9 years, stowin away the tAime?
Are you gatherin' up the Gmaj9tears, have you had enough of F#m7mine
DYou been tellin' me you're A/C#a genius Bm7since you were sAeventeen;
DIn all the timA/C#e I've known you I Bm7still don't know what you mAean.
The A7/Eweekend at the coEbdimllege didn't turDmn out like you plAanned;
DThe things that A/C#pass for knowledgeBm7 I can't underAstand.
CHORUS....
DI've spent a lit of A/C#money and I sBm7pent a lot of tAime;
DThe trip we made to A/C#Hollywood Bm7is etched upon my mAind.
AfterA7/E all the things we'veEbdim done and seen youDm find another Aman;
DThe things you think A/C#are useless I Bm7can't undersAtand.
