Intro: Am F G (3X)
Am F G
1. Another long summer's come and gone.
Am F G
I don't know why it always ends this way.
Am F G
The boardwalk's quiet and the carnival rides,
F G
are as empty as my broken heart, tonite.
Chorus: Am7 C
But I close my eyes and one more time we're spinning
G Am7
around and you're holding me tightly. The words came
C G
out, I kissed your mouth. No 4th of July has ever
Am7 C
burned so brightly. You had to go, I understand but you
G F
promised you'd be back again, and so I wander round
G Am F G Am F G
this town-till summer comes around.
Am F G
2. I got a job working at the old Park Pew.
Am F G
And every summer now for five long years.
Am F
I greased the gears, fixed the lights, tightened bolts,
G F
straightened the tracks. And I count the days till you
G
just might, come back.
Chorus: Am7 C
Then I close my eyes and one more time we're spinning
G Am7
around and you're holding me tightly. The words came
C G
out, I kissed your mouth. No 4th of July has ever
Am7 C
burned so brightly. You had to go, I understand but you
G F
swore you'd be back again, and so I'm frozen in
G
this town-till summer comes around.

3. When I close my eyes, you and I stood on the ferris wheel riding
Am C
with emotion. And hand in hand we cried and laughed knowing that
G
earth belonged to us girl if only for a moment.
Am C G
And maybe I'll be back again you whispered in my ear but now the
F G F G
winter wind, is the only sound. And everything is closing down.
Am F G
Till summer comes around.
Am F G
Till summer comes around, yea yea.
Am F G
MM-MM
Am F G
Till it comes around, and it comes around.
Am F G
OO-OO-OO-OO-OO OO-OO-OO-OO-OO OO-OO-OO-OO-OO
Am F G
I Miss you baby, Oh I miss you baby.
