Lyrics
How the (Gm7)time passed a way,
all the (Ebsus2)trou ble that we gave
So and we (Gm7)all those days we spent out by (Ebsus2)the lake.
Has it (Gm7)all gone to waste,
all the (Bb5)prom is es we (Ebsus2)made?
(Gm7)One by one they van ish just the (Ebsus2)same.
Of all the things I still re mem ber, sum mers nev er look the same.
The years go by and time just seems to fly, but the mem o ries re main.
In the mid dle of Sep tem ber we still play out in the rain.
Noth ing to lose but ev ’ry thing to gain.
Re flect ing now on how things could (Eb)have been, it was worth it in the end.
Now it (Gm7)all seems so clear.
There is (Ebsus2)noth ing left to fear.
So and we (Gm7)made our way by find ing what (Ebsus2)was real.
Now the (Gm7)days are so long
that the (Bb5)sum mer’s mov in’ (Ebsus2)on.
(Gm7)Reach for some thin’ that’s al read y (Ebsus2)gone.
Of all the things I still re mem ber, sum mers nev er look the same.
The years go by and time just seems to fly, but the mem o ries re main.
In the mid dle of Sep tem ber we still play out in the rain.
Noth ing to lose but ev ’ry thing to gain.
Re flect ing now on how things could (Eb)have been, it was worth it in the end.
Now it Re flect ing now on how things could (Eb)have been, it was worth it in the end.
Yeah, we knew we had to (F5)leave this town.
But we nev er knew when and we (Bb5)nev er knew how
we would (Eb5)end up here the way we are.
Yeah, we knew we had to (F5)leave this town,
but we nev er knew when and we (Gm7)nev er knew how,
(Eb5)(nev er knew how.)
Re flect in’ now on how things could (Eb)have been, it was worth it in the end,
(Gm7)end.
