Somehow the season always brings a picture of you,    baby boom baby
F2             C/D                             Gm7       Bb         C
Holding on for everything you figured you're due, little turtleneck girl
C   F                  F2      C/D                    Gm7  Bbmaj7  C        F  F2
The moon on your shoulder, the wind in your lovely hair,  oh what  a night
F2  C/D                        Gm7               Bb       A7/C#    Dm    C/D
We  sat on the beach and watched as the sun rose into the summer air
C/D Gm9              Bbmaj9       C2    Dm7
You said we couldn't miss what we never knew
Gm9             Bbmaj9             C2     Dm7
Something 'bout something that you had to do
Gm9            Bbmaj9      C2   Dm9     Bb2
Sitting on the sand with a hole in my shoe       F2
F2              C/D                             Gm7   Bbmaj9      C2
I had no way of knowing where you might have been,  time     goes by
F2                C/D                       Gm7  Bb        C
All on my own I imagine you a life in between,   all on my own
C F2                      C/D                        Gm7   Bbmaj7     C          F2
I work on a letter but it never made it out of my head,         oh   no
F2          C/D                 Gm7               Bb        A7/C#      Dm  Am7  C/D
Somehow reading your name it wasn't the same as leaving the thing unsaid
Gm9        Bbmaj9      C2    Dm7
How come I miss what I never knew  And
Gm9          Bbmaj9       C2       Dm7
Drag out the past just to paint it blue
Dm7     Gm9    Bbmaj7    C2    Dm7  Bb2
And spend my days with a dream of you?
[Bridge]
E7+5  A7+5       Dm  A7+5         Dm7  Bm7
Oh, after the fall
Bm7      Em7/Bb             A7+5           Dm9    G9
Here I'm trying to find our name on the wall
G9     Bb/C                        Bb9
It was neither yours nor mine
Bb9    A7+5                        Dm9   G13
It was something of the two combined
G13    Bbmaj7/C                   F  F2
From a time spent out of time
[verse]
F2             C/D                         Gm7  Bb2           C2   F  F2
I work hard to see that you remember my name,   nod your head yes
F2              C/D                         Gm7   Bb        C
Do all I can to make you wanna see me again,      oh what a night
C     F F2                        C/D                       Gm7  Bb        C     F  F2
Got a letter from the mail, got a message from the telephone    Oh, what a night
F2             C/D              Gm7          Bb        A7/C#  Dm   C/D
Seems you're working in town, moving around, living alone
C/D                       Bbmaj9  C2          Dm7
Now I'm caught in the spotlight,  walking the wire
Gm9         Bbmaj9        C2         Dm7
My feet are frozen and my heart's on fire
Gm9       Bbmaj9   C2    Dm9     Bb2    Gm
What do I do if my dream comes true?
[Outro]
Gm  Am   Bb
La la la la la la
Gm    Am  Bb
La la la la   la
