Summer's Gone 


C                  Em          G
Looking in a window on a rainy day. 
C                         Em           G
Thinking about good things that I just threw away. 
C                     Em                    G
Looking in the gutter, watching the trash go flowing by. 
C                     Em                 G
Thinking it's Summer, but there are only clouds in the sky. 


                           F                G
When I think about what we wasted, makes me sad, 
                F            G
We never appreciated what we had. 
        F                             Em
Now I'm standing in a doorway with my overcoat on, 
          Dm                        C      Em       G
It really feels like Summer's gone              So alone
         C        Em       G        C      Em       G
Summer's gone. 


   F
It should have been a laugh, it should have been fun, 
       C
When I think of all the things that we did last Summer. 
F
Now I look back, it seems such a crime, 
   D                             G
We couldn't appreciate it at the time. 


        C                      Em                  G
Now I'm standing in a doorway, thinking of Summers gone by. 
C                          Em                  G
It ought to make me happy, but it just makes me want to cry. 
                    F                   G
I was riding in the car with my mum and dad, 
                   F                              G
He was drivin' the car, the kids were drivin' him mad.


F                         Em
Dad looked at us, then he looked at his wife, 
             Dm                         C
He must have wondered where we all came from. 
         F                           Em
And then mum said, "Dad, you know it won't last for long, 
           Dm                       C     Em      G
Before you know it, Summer's gone."           So alone. 
                  C        Em       G        C        Em        G
Summer's gone. 


                 F                    G
I really blew it all, when I think it through, 
                 F               G
I really lost it all when I lost you. 
        F                          Em
Now I'm standing in a doorway with water in my shoes, 
          Dm                                   C    Em      G
It really feels like, feels like Summers gone.          So alone. 
                  C        Em       G
Summer's gone. 
                  C        Em       G
Summer's gone. 
                  C        Em       G        C        Em        G
