Capo on 2nd

[Intro]

Em Am B7 Em

[Verse 1]

In another younger day I could dream the time away

in the universe inside my room

B7 Em

And the world was really mine from June 'til September

And if it wasn't really so, I was lucky not to know

and I was lucky not to wonder why,

B7 Em

Because the summer time is all that I remember

[Chorus 1]

Em D C

Summerfly was buzzing every night when I was young

B7 Em

In the gentle world my childlike senses knew

And the world was just my cousin

D C

and the wind was just the tone

B7 Em

In the voice my lonely moments listened to

[Verse 2]

And I look at me today and the dreams have gone away

and I am where I never thought I would be

B7 Em

Seeing things I never thought I would see happening to me

And I lay awake at night 'til the darkness turns to light

Hearing voices calling out my name

B7 Em

Droning over and again the same message to me

[Chorus 2]

Em D C

Crying who's your partner, who's your darling, who's your baby now?

B7 Em

Who wakes up at night to pull you in?

Em D C

But it don't matter, you'll just make her lonely anyhow

B7 Em

I don't know why you even try to win

[Instrumental]

Em Am B7 Em

[Chorus 2]

Crying who's your partner, who's your darling, who's your baby now?

Who wakes up at night to pull you in?

But it don't matter, you'll just make her lonely anyhow

B7 Em

I don't know why you even try to win

[Tag]
