F C/E Dm7 C Your ever lastin' summer, you can see it fadin' fast, F C/E Dm7 C So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last. Gm7 D/F# Fm7 C/E Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand; F C/E Dm7 C The things you think are precious I can't understand.F C/E Dm7 C You been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen; F C/E Dm7 C In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean. Gm7 D/F# Fm7 C/E The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned; F C/E Dm7 C The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand.Bbmaj9 C Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time? Bbmaj9 C Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine Bbmaj9 C Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time? Bbmaj9 Am7 Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mineF C/E Dm7 C I've spent a lit of money and I spent a lot of time; F C/E Dm7 C The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind. Gm7 D/F# Fm7 C/E After all the things we've done and seen you find another man; F C/E Dm7 C The things you think are useless I can't understand.Bbmaj9 C Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time? Bbmaj9 C Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine Bbmaj9 C Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time? Bbmaj9 Am7 Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mineBbmaj9 C Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time? Bbmaj9 C Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine Bbmaj9 C Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time? Bbmaj9 Am7 Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
