A
Girl it always seems about September
E                                      F#m
That's the time, again I remember the lights
                          C#m
And all the fun of those summer nights
D 
Young and innocent and livin' fast
A
Didn't know enough to know
               E
That a summer love can't last
E
Can't last

A
And the snow it fell without a warning
E                                          F#m
Left Me standing out in the cold,My heart shattered
                   C#m
Thinking only of yesterdays   
D
Does Me no good to reminisce
A 
I can really only tell You this
      E
If I had My way
         F#m 
I'd take yesterday  
  
 
(Do you remember those)
G              D
Summer nights all night
                 A
Dancin' in the light of love
(Dancin' in the light of love)
G               D    
Summer nights so right
               E     A   E   A
Couldn't last beyond September
G              D
Summer nights all night
                A
Livin' for your love
             E
Dreamin' only of
 A             G  
You and summer nights


A                                     
I remember playin' by the shoreline 
E                                          F#m   
Before the fall when we had it all at our fingertips
                          C#m               
Buildin' castles in the driftin' sand 
D
Raced the waves as they ran to the shore   
A 
But the tides were turned for ever more    
           E
And the things we planned
             F#m
Were castles made of sand
         
   
(Do You remember those)
G             D
Summer nights so right
                A
Dancin' in the light of love
(Dancin' in the light of love)
G              D
Summer nights so right
               E     A   E   A
Couldn't last beyond September
G              D
Summer nights all night
                A
Livin' for your love
             E
Dreamin only of
 A               G
You and summer nights
           

G
Oooh summer nights
G
Makin' love beneath the northern lights
A
Oooh summer nights
         G         D   A
Now I'm back on my own again
G
Oooh summer nights
G
We were diamonds in the rough in the moonlight
A
Oooh summer nights
         G         D    A
Now I'm out in the cold again
  G        D    A
back on my own again
       
...I remember those...
  
Chorus .. outro..
