Intro: A Asus4 Em (or something close to Em, an open A with the lower
two fingers lifted, maybe)
A E G A
Took a sad song of one sweet evening
E G D A
I smiled and quickly turned away.
A E G A
It's not easy singing sad songs
E G D A
but still the easiest way I have to say.
G D A
So when you look into the sun
G D A
and see the things we haven't done --
G D
oh was it better then to run
C A
than to spend the summer crying.
C G A
Now summer cannot come anyway.
A E G A E G D A
I had waited for time to change her. The only change that came was over me.
A E G A E G D A
She pretended not to want love -- I hope she was only fooling me.
G D A G D A
So when you look into the sun look for the pleasures nearly won.
G D C A
Or was it better then to run than to spend the summer singing.
C G A
And summer could have come in a day.
A E G A E G D A
So if you hear my sad song singing remember who and what you nearly had.
A E G A E G D A
It's not easy singing sad songs when you can sing the song to make me glad.
G D A G D A
So when you look into the sun and see the words you could have sung:
G D C A
It's not too late, only begun, we can still make summer.
C G A
Yes, summer always comes anyway.
G D A G D A
So when you look into the sun and see the words you could have sung:
G D C A
It's not too late, only begun. Look into the sun.
