the Ferris wheel goes around and around
 G#m7
Well the trouble with up is there's always a down
 A
First I'm holding your hand and we're on the boardwalk
 A
There's heaven right here on these streets and these docks

 E
But the sun keeps settin', the days go fast
        G#m7
And the sand on the beach is like an hourglass
    A
and I can just feel it all slipping away
    A
And babe I can already say that

 E                         G#m7
As long I live, whatever I do
   A
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
 B                                       E
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
          G#m7
Baby it's true
    A
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
              B
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you

 E G#m7 A A

 E
Sooner or later it's all gonna stop
 G#m7
We'll be rolling up windows and puttin' up tops
     A
Be a cold wind blowin' the leaves through the air and
 A
You won't find a tan line anywhere

 E
Baby I know that it ain't over yet
   G#m7
So let's make the most of what we have left
         A
But it's hard living for this moment we're in and
 A                 
Knowing it's all gonna end?

 E                G#m7 
(As long I live), whatever I do (Whatever I do)
 A
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
 B                                        E
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
          G#m7
Baby it's true
    A
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
         B                                                 E
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you

 B
Yeah looking at you, girl, standing there
 A                                             A A9
Got your wayfarers on and the sun in your hair
 A                                              B
And just like the song in a seashell, you'll be stuck in my mind
 B
Bouncing around in my head
 B
And baby I can tell that...

 E                                   G#m7
As long I live (as long as I live), whatever I do (Whatever I do)
   A
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
 B                                       E
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
          G#m7
Baby it's true
    A
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
              B                                            E
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you
