D A/C# Bm A
Your everlasting summer you can see it fading fast
D A/C# Bm A
So you grab a piece of something that you think is gonna last
G D/F# F6 A/E
Well, you wouldn't know a diamond if you held it in your hand
D A/C# Bm A
The things you think are precious, I can't understand
[Chorus]
G
Are you reelin' in the years?
A
Stowin' away the time?
G
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
A
Have you had enough of mine?

You been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen

In all the years I've known you, I still don't know what you mean

The weekend in the college didn't turn out like you planned

The things that pass for knowledge, I can't understand

I spend a lot of money and I spent a lot of time
D A/C# Bm A
The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind
G D/F# F6 A/E
After all the things we've done and seen, you find another man
D A/C# Bm A
The things you think are useless, I can't understand
[Chorus]

Are you reelin' in the years?
