(Intro)
Gadd9  Aadd9
(Verse 1)
Bm7  Amajor  Em7  Gmajor  Gadd9  Aadd9
I've been thinking about you
To know you, trying to get you off of my mind
I've tried and every time I try I fail
To make any progress
Bm7  Amajor  Em7  Gmajor  Gadd9  Aadd9
My mind's eye only sees you
And I swear I don't swear
But I promise it's true
You keep my mind so occupied
In a busy yet beautiful way, hey
(Chorus)
Dmaj7  F#m7  Gsus2  Dmajor  Em7  Gmajor  Gadd9
Hey well I met you in the summertime
And I never had a summer better
Than the one I met you in girl
Oh yeah
Dmaj7  F#m7  Gsus2  Dmajor  Em7  Gadd9  Aadd9
I met you in the summertime
Do you keep me in mind?
Cause you're always on mine
(Intrumental break, play verse chords)
(Verse 2)
Bm7  Amajor  Em7  Gmajor  Gadd9  Aadd9
You know how I know she's got style
It's in the way she walks
And it's in the way she smiles
It's in the way she's rocking fits
Ahead of their time
All of the time
  Bm7    Am7  Am7*    Gsus2    Dmajor    Em7    Gmajor  Gadd9  
One day I'm gonna let go
Let it out
Just to love til my feelings show
I'm giving you my heart
Tie it with a bow
You never had to try
You had me at hello
(Chorus)
Dmaj7  F#m7  Gsus2  Dmajor  Em7  Gmajor  Gadd9
Hey, I met you in the summertime
And I never had a summer better
Than the one I met you in girl
Oh yeah
Dmaj7  F#m7  Gsus2  Dmajor  Em7  Gadd9  Aadd9
I met you in the summertime
Do you keep me in mind?
Cause you're always on mine
(Bridge)

All these thoughts I have of you are

Bm7  Em7  Dmajor  Gsus2
Wonderful in every regard

I can go to a place that I know is for sure

Hey, I met you in the summertime
And I never had a summer better
Than the one I met you in girl
