Intro - G D A A
        G D E A G

AGirl it always seems about September
E                                      F#mThat's the time, again I remember the lights
                          C#mAnd all the fun of those summer nights
D Young and innocent and livin' fast
ADidn't know enough to know
               EThat a summer love can't last
ECan't last

AAnd the snow it fell without a warning
E                                          F#mLeft Me standing out in the cold,My heart shattered
                   C#mThinking only of yesterdays   
DDoes Me no good to reminisce
A I can really only tell You this
      EIf I had My way
         F#m I'd take yesterday  
  
 
(Do you remember those)
G              DSummer nights all night
                 ADancin' in the light of love
(Dancin' in the light of love)
G               D    Summer nights so right
               E     A   E   ACouldn't last beyond September
G              DSummer nights all night
                ALivin' for your love
             EDreamin' only of
 A             G  You and summer nights


A                                     I remember playin' by the shoreline 
E                                          F#m   Before the fall when we had it all at our fingertips
                          C#m               Buildin' castles in the driftin' sand 
DRaced the waves as they ran to the shore   
A But the tides were turned for ever more    
           EAnd the things we planned
             F#mWere castles made of sand
         
   
(Do You remember those)
G             DSummer nights so right
                ADancin' in the light of love
(Dancin' in the light of love)
G              DSummer nights so right
               E     A   E   ACouldn't last beyond September
G              DSummer nights all night
                ALivin' for your love
             EDreamin only of
 A               GYou and summer nights
