I'm not sure I got it exactly right. Enjoy!

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

   F        C       G       F        C       G 
Do do do do do come on   Do do do do do come on come on 

C     G        F(See Riff) C       G      F                  G
Those days are gone, you and I were young those summer nights
C      G       F(See Riff) C      G     F                 G  
You’ll see the world diving for a girl you’ll never find 
               Am      G     F                G          C
and then we’ll quietly grow old the saddest story ever told  


C                   F       C          F                     G
Once upon a time we fell in love or at least that’s what you said
C                  F       C          F               G 
You’ll say anything to someone else and I just wish I was dead
  
   F        C       G       F        C       G 
Do do do do do come on   Do do do do do come on come on 

C     G        F(See Riff) C       G      F                  G
Those days are gone, you and I were young those summer nights
C      G       F(See Riff) C      G     F                 G  
You’ll see the world diving for a girl you’ll never find 
               Am      G     F                G          C
and then we’ll quietly grow old the saddest story ever told
