Lyrics

The sum mer (F5)days are gone too soon.

You shoot the (F)moon and (Bbsus2)miss com (F5)plete ly.

And now you’re (F5)left to face the gloom,

the emp ty (F)room that (Bbsus2)once smelled (F5)sweet ly.

Of all the (C7)flow ers you plucked, if on ly

you (Gm7)knew the (F)rea son

why you (C7)had to each be lone ly.

Was it (Gm7)just the (F)sea son?

Now the (F5)fall is here a gain.

You can’t be (F)gin to (Bbsus2)give in.

(F5)It’s all o ver.

When the snows come roll in’ through,

you’re roll in’ (F)too, with (Bbsus2)some new (F5)lov er.

Will you (C7)think of times you’ve told me

that you knew the (F)rea son

why we (C7)had to each be lone ly?

It was just the (F)sea son.

Will you (C7)think of times you’ve told me

that you (Gm7)knew the (F)rea son

why we (C7)had to each

be (Bbsus2)lone ly?

It was (Gm7)just the (F)sea son.
