[Intro]
D
{Verse 1]
D A
You were a lady like lady, I was a boy running wild
D
The way that you used everything that God gave you, I gave you my heart like a child
D7 D G
One moment you took me to heaven, took me back to earth and then
A G D A D D7
Before I woke up to the fact I was small you took me back to heaven again
[Chorus]
G D A D7
And I remember the Indian summer, how you held me, how you loved me
G
The world may give me a million reasons, but reasons don't make it wrong
E7 A7
Every lesson I learned has a price in return, I was lost in my youth and to tell you the truth
D A D7 G
I was empty, and you filled me, with a glow of love a loving loves may die
Gm D G D A D
Just to hear you that sees me through, oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
[Verse 2]
E B7
So many hearts have been broken, you had no trouble with mine
E
Like a fool I was there for the taking but then, it was only a matter of time
E7 A
You can lie in the sun with the warm wind blowing, just knowing you've already paid
B A E A E
But you can't live alone in an Indian Summer at 110 in the shade
[Chorus]
A E B7 E
And I remember the Indian Summer, how you held me in the moonlight
E7 A
We were riding along on a silver dream, never dreaming it all might end
F# B7
And if I'd known I'd lose you the moment I found you, I'd love you all over again
E B7
'Cause I'm still empty, come fill me
E7 A Am E A
With a fire of love your flame will follow flame, 'cause it's all I want to do
[Outro]
E B7
Oh, what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
E B7
Oh, what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
E B7
Oh, what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
E B7 E
Oh, what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
