VERSE:

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

CHORUS:

   C        G       D              C        G       D 
Do do do do do come on come on  Do do do do do come on come on 

G     D        C     G       D      C                  D
Those days are gone You and I were young those summer nights  

G      D       C     G           D    C            D
You'll see the world dying for a girl you'll never find 

	        Em      D    C                D          G
and then we'll quietly grow old: the saddest story ever told.

     G               C       G          C                     D   
Once upon a time you fell in love or at least that's what you said  

G                C            G          C               D
You'll say I can find someone else but I just wish I was dead  

CHORUS:

   C        G       D       C        G       D
Do do do do do come on.  Do do do do do come on. 

G     D        C     G       D      C                  D
Those days are gone You and I were young those summer nights  

G      D       C     G           D    C            D
You'll see the world dying for a girl you'll never find 

	       Em      D    C                D          G
and then we'll quietly grow old: the saddest story ever told.
