Verse 1: 
C5         E5             A5
She's been afraid of the Cuisinart
C5               E5     A5
Since nine-teen seventy-seven
C5         E5        A5
Now when she opens up the house
         E5                  F5        
Well she won't set foot in the kitchen
C5            E5          A5
Her brother's dating an architect
C5             E5          A5
They're coming up for the weekend
C5         E5         A5
He never gave her the proper respect
    E5                           F5         
But she still meets the ferry to greet them

Chorus:
F5          C5             E5
Oh, at the summer place, we got the space
   A5             G5
if you've got the time
F5       C5            G5
At the summer place, its so far away
E5                      
It's another state of...
A5   F5   C5    E5  A5    F5  C5    E5 (repeat intro riff over chorus) F5 , G5
Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind 

Verse 2:
C5       E5           A5
She ran away back in seventy eight
C5            E5            A5
Just down the beach to the neighbor's
C5              E5           A5
They brought her back after sunset
            E5                 F5     
Her Dad said "Don't do me any favors"
C5        E5        A5
Her Mom sat on the patio
C5            E5         A5
She said she needed the sea air
C5           E5        A5
She drank a fifth of Seagram's
               E5                F5
And then she'd sink down into her deck chair

Chorus 2:
F5          C5             E5
Oh, at the summer place, we got the space
   A5             G5
if you've got the time
F5       C5            G5
At the summer place, its so far away
E5                      
It's another state of...
A5   F5   C5    E5  A5    F5  C5    E5 (repeat intro riff over chorus) F5 , G5
Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind 

Bridge:
A5           E5
At fifteen, shop-lifting
C5             F5
Was the only game she liked to play
A5        E5         
At forty, she's so bored she
C5               F5
Thinks about it then decides to play
A5             G5
But still she can't help feeling
D5                                  G5
Those good old days don't seem so far away
                   E5
(seem so far away) Just like yesterday

Verse 3:
C5          E5         A5
She took a handful of mushrooms
C5        E5         A5
That she got from a surfer
C5           E5         A5
She spent a night in a hospital room
E5                    F5
So the doctors could observe her

Chorus 3:
F5          C5             E5                   A5                G5
Oh, at the summer place, We've got the space, you should drop on by
F5          C5
Oh, at the summer place
G5                        E5            
the injuries fade but the memories last a life
A5     F5
Tiiiime
   C5      E5
A5 lifetiiiime
  A5     F5
A5 lifetiiiime
 C5      E5
A5 lifetiiiime

Outro:
F5 , G5 , (pause) A5
