G320001

GMatador sweeps the veil
CFrom the last young day of my life
GMalibu tides inhale
CSanta Ana Winds from behind
GWade out into the water
CNo more chances this year
GI busied myself all summer
CMy day for swimming is here
CYes it's Dtime
Seaside revelations
All those dreams and visions of mine (repeat chords as above)
Washed up like a vacation
Lost as I wasted my time
Looking through my dark glasses
I see smiles on the faces of friends
But time keeps pushing me on now
And I'll ride this wave till the end
GPlease don't go away
CStay awhile, stay awhile
GPlease don't go away
CStay awhile, stay awhile
ESay goodbye to the weekend
AAnd the last of the summertime sun
EDriving off the end of a decade
ASo many things to be done
F#September and the trees are restless
BWind chimes blow in the dark
F#Lying on the couch defenseless
BWith blue clouds court and spark
F#Please don't go away
BStay awhile, stay awhile
F#Please don't go away
BStay awhile, stay awhile
F#Please don't go away
BStay awhile, stay awhile
F#Please don't go away, why don't you
BStay awhile, stay awhile
