There's an old pair of sneakers dangling from a wire
F# B C#
And my old rusty engine is in need of some brand new tires
Ebm B C# F#
And from my front steps, the last of the weekend vettes goes blasting by
G#m B Ebm C#
Won't be nothing so cold as this beach in the winter time
F# B
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
F# B
The same old record played
F# B
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
F# C# F#
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days
Repeat intro: F# B (Bb)
Verse 2:
F# B F# B
I can still hear you laugh, with your hair blowing back in my car
F# B C#
I can still feel your curves, when we danced in that boardwalk bar
Ebm B C#
And I can still taste your lips from that one last stolen kiss
F#
By the firelight
G#m B Ebm C#
Won't be nothing so cold as this beach in the winter time
F# B
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
F# B
The same old record played
F# B
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song

The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

One day you just felt a change and slipped away
E* B F#
Maybe it was never meant to be

Now the sound of footsteps makes me hope and pray you're coming back to me
(Verse)
F# B F# B (Bb)
There's a warm breeze that's blowing as the shadows go tumbling by
F# B C#
And it's picking up sand, and that must be what's in my eye
Chorus:
F# B
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long

The end of the summer days, end of the summer days
and repeating F# B
End of the summer days, oooh
