Intro: Am7 – F – G }x3
Verse 1:
Am7 F G
Another lost summer’s come and gone
Am7 F G
And I don’t know why it always ends this way
Am7 F G
The boardwalk’s quiet and the carnival rides
F G
Are as empty as my broken heart tonight
Chorus:
F C
But I close my eyes and one more time
G
We’re spinning around and you’re holding on tightly
F C
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
G
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
F C
You had to go, and I understand
G
But you promised you’d be back again
F
And so I wandered round this town
G Am7 – F – G – Am7 – F – G
Til summer comes around
Verse 2:
I got a job working at the old park pier
And every summer now for five long years
I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts
and straighten the tracks
And I count the days til you just might come back
Chorus:
F C
But I close my eyes and one more time
G
We’re spinning around and you’re holding on tightly
F C
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
G
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
F C
You had to go, and I understand
G
But you swore that you’d be back again
F
And so I’m frozen in this town
G Am7 – F – G – Am7 – F – G
Til summer comes around
Am7 – F – G }x4
Chorus:
F C
And I close my eyes and you and I
G
Are stuck on the ferris wheel rockin with the motion
F C
And hand in hand we cried and laughed
G
Knowing that love belonged to us,
F G
girl, if only for a mo-ment
F C G
Baby, I’ll be back again” you whispered in my ear
F G
But now the winter wind is the only sound
F G
And everything is closing down
Am7 – F – G
Til summer comes around
