Intro: A  D   x4


Verse 1:
       A
in the tall grass of a long sun
  D
a quiet repast and I'm sweet nothings
A
  come hell I'm your lover your
D
man your friend your fair weather
       A
it's a world stopped afternoon
D
passion legs your wordless
A
all blue routes to your birth
      D
place chalk white wincing pretty in it


Interlude: A  D   x2


Verse 2:
A
summer dress your hair's wet
    D
and gets into our kisses
A
  can you tell why my intentions
D
wind up near misses
          A
there's a kindness in your
              D
smile but my sky plays fatal music
            A
there's the promise and the
                 D                 C#m   Bm
shell of great beginnings seldom finished


Chorus:
D        A         C#m
  in the laze of a barefoot 
     D    D   Dm              A
afternoon, oh what's a boy to do?
D        A   C#m            D
  Sunday eyes,  am I losing you?
D        Dm            A
  is the summer really through?


Verse 3:
 A
straps down and overtired 
     D
if I had a favorite picture
            A
I'd call it right now
          D
uncertain braced for your disaster
A
summer gown were you sent 
        D
down to wrestle me to reason
      A
I'm a thrown fight in your
              D
favor I'll do everything
    C#m           Bm D
but listen to you now


Chorus 2:
D        A          C#m        D
  in the laze of an empty afternoon
D          Dm            A
  it's all happening too soon
D        A   C#m            D
  Sunday eyes,  am I losing you?
D Dm           A
  say it isn't true


Brdige:
F#m       C#/F   E          D
   in the summer you really know
A          C#m
   that it doesn't feel like
    D              Dm
the summer so much anymore
A            D         A
  but I keep trying to find
               D
you somewhere smiling
     Bm      D        A(hold)
over me over you over me


Piano Solo: A  D   x2, F#m C#m D A E C#/F F#m D A  


Verse 4:
A
  summer girl all summer
         D
long you know the winter's wrong
A
southbound those motel towns
    D
can mend most broken mornings
        A
there's citrus groves where
                D
noone knows the fruit of truth from evil
      A
and a long walk on a short pier
      D                 C#m          Bm D
means nothing more than swimming here


Chorus 3:
D            A       C#m
  there's an end but we don't
       D     D       Dm   A
get to choose we can only lose
D      A       C#m            D(hold)
  if I cried a river just for you
D
would you swim in it
                A
some sunny afternoon?


Outro:
F#m       C#/F   E             D
   in the summer you'll really know
A             C#m         D
   you're the only summer that
             Dm
I think I'll ever know
A              D
  so I'll keep trying to
A                   D
find you somewhere smiling
A              D
  I'll keep trying to
A         D
find you smiling
    Bm      D        A Dm A(hold)
for me over you over me
