D               A/C#            Bm7                 A
            Your ever lastin' summer, you can see it fadin' fast,
            D                       A/C#            Bm7                 A
            So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last.
      C#/E                          C/Eb          B/D           A/C#
      Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand;
            D                     A/C#            Bm7            A
            The things you think are precious I can't understand.

This is what I dug out from Nevada. The first two lines are fine...

But C#/E   ,  C/Eb    etc for the third and fourth lines  ?????

If you try these chords, they sound pretty weird. C# with an E bass ?

If you try E with a C# bass it's almost right though I prefer these chorts :

    Em7                    B/D#             Dm7                A/C#
you wouldn't even know  a diamond  if  you held  it  in your  hand

Probably it was a slip up when it was typed in, cos' everything except this
line is Ok.

      CHORUS:      Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
                                      Gmaj9                         A

            The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned;
            D                 A/C#              Bm7           A
            The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand.

            CHORUS


            D                     A/C#         Bm7            A
            I've spent a lit of money and I spent a lot of time;
            D                     A/C#      Bm7                A
            The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind.

            After all the things we've done and seen you find another man;

            The things you think are useless I can't understand.
