[Intro]
C Bb
DmCBb
    x4
[Verse 1]
Dm        C         Bb
Squeaky swings and tall grass
    Dm        C     Bb
The longest shadows ever cast
    Dm      C         Bb
The water's warm and children swim
        Dm          C         Bb
And we frolicked about in our summer skin
[Verse 2]
Dm        C      Bb
I don't recall a single care
      Dm    C           Bb
Just greenery and humid air
      Dm    C  Bb
Then Labor day came and went
       Dm             C           Bb
And we shed what was left of our summer skin
[Interlude 1] (strum each chord once from top to bottom)
F C Am

Am G F
[Verse 3]
        Dm        C          Bb
On the night you left I came over
       Dm          C                Bb
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
    Dm         C             Bb
Our brand new coats were so flushed and pink
       Dm        C         Bb
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
[Refrain]
          Dm        C           Bb             Dm        C          Bb
Cause the seasons change was a conduit, and we left our love in our summer skin
[Outro]
F C Am
Am C Bb
