   G                         C  G          C                 D
We used to go out on the summer nights and dance in the neon rain
   G                         C     G              C                D
We used to hold hands at the movie show but we'll never hold hands again  

   C        G       D       C        G       D 
Do do do do do come on   Do do do do do come on come on 

G     D        C     G       D      C                  D
Those days are gone, you and I were young those summer nights
G      D       C     G      D     C                 D  
You'll see the world diving for a girl you'll never find 
               Em      D     C                D          G
and then we'll quietly grow old the saddest story ever told  


G                   C       G          C                     D
Once upon a time we fell in love or at least that's what you said
G                  C       G          C               D 
You say I can find someone else but I just wish I was dead
  
   C        G       D       C        G       D 
Do do do do do come on   Do do do do do come on come on 

G     D        C     G       D      C                  D
Those days are gone, you and I were young those summer nights
G      D       C     G      D     C                 D  
You'll see the world diving for a girl you'll never find 
               Em      D     C                D          G
and then we'll quietly grow old the saddest story ever told
