[Intro}
D  D
[Verse]
DThe way the two of you were Gstanding outside the door
I Emknew you'd reached the Aend of your Ddream
And when you walked into the Groom without your Emgirl
You Adidn't have to say a word to Dme
BmIn the long lonesome summer Gmany things will change
AA lot of part time friends have moved Dalong
BmWhen good times have you smiling GI know you're in there dying
                                 A   D(x2)
Cause it's just another good time gone
DOne of the times we got to Gwork a little late
For Emdrinking on a Anight too hot to Dsleep
You said you didn't mind Ggoing on this Emway
As Along as it was good enough for Dme
BmThey say the weather's changing Gseasons are rearranging
EmSummer's never Abeen this long Dbefore
BmSometimes it makes me spin how Gthings were so different then
But Emlately they aren't Adifferent anyDmore
[Outro]
