[INTRO]
[Am] [Am] [Em] [G] x2
[VERSE 1]
[Am] The summer [Am]ends and we [Em]wonder where we [G]are
And [Am]there you go, my [Am]friends, with your [Em]boxes in your [G]car
And you [C]both look so [C]young
And [G]last night was [G]hard, you said
You [Am]packed up every [Am]room
And then you [Em]cried and went to [G]bed
But to[Am]day you closed the [Am]door
And said "We [Em]have to get a [Em]move on
It's [Fmaj7]just that time of [Fmaj7]year
When we [G]push ourselves a[G]head
We [Am]push ourselves a[Am]head." [Am]
And it was [Dm]cloudy in the [Dm]morning
And it [Em]rained as you [Em]drove away
And the [Dm]same things looked [Dm]different
It's the [Em]end of the [Em]summer
It's the [Fmaj7]end of the [Fmaj7]summer
When you [Em9]move to a[Em9]nother place
[VERSE 2]
And I [Am]feel like the [Am]neighbor's girl who will [Em]never be the [G]same
She [Am]walked alone all [Am]spring, she had a [Em]boyfriend when the [G]summer came
And [C]he gave her [C]flowers in a [G]lightning [G]storm
They [Am]disappeared at [Am]night in [Em]green fields of [G]silver corn
And [Am]sometime in Ju[Am]ly she just for[Em]got that he was [Em]leaving
So [Fmaj7]when the fields were [Fmaj7]dying, she [G]held on to his [Em]sleeves
She [Am]held on to his [Am]sleeves [Am]
And she [Dm]doesn't want to [Dm]let go
'Cause she [Em]won't know what she's [Em]up against
The [Dm]classrooms and the [Dm]smart girls
It's the [Em]end of the [Em]summer
It's the [Fmaj7]end of the [Fmaj7]summer
When you [Em9]hang your flowers [Em9]up to dry
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Am] [Am] [Em] [G] x2
[VERSE 3]
[Am]And I had a [Am]dream, it blows the [Em]autumn through my [G]head
It [Am]felt like the first [Am]day of school, but I was [Em]going to the [G]moon instead
And I [C]walked down the [C]hall
With the [G]notebooks they [G]got for me
My [Am]dad led me [Am]through the house
My [Em]mom drank instant [G]coffee
And I [Am]knew that I would [Am]crash
But I [Em]didn't want to [Em]tell them
There are [Fmaj7]just some moments [Fmaj7] when your [Fmaj7]family makes [Fmaj7]sense
They [Am]just make [Am]sense [Am]
So I [Dm]raised up my [Dm]arms and my [Em]mother put the [Em]sweater on
We [Dm]walked out on the [Dm]dark and frozen [Em]grass
The end of the [Em]summer
It's the [Em]end of the [Em]summer
When you [Em9]send your children to the [Em9]moon
[VERSE 4]
[Am] The summer [Am]ends and we [Em]wonder who we [G]are
And [Am]there you go, my [Am]friends, with your [Em]boxes in your [G]car
And to[C]day I passed the [C]high school, the [G]river, the [G]maple tree
I [Am]passed the farms that [Am]made it
Through the [Em]last days of the [G]century
And I [Am]knew that I was [Em]going to learn a[Em]gain
A[Em]gain, in this [Fmaj7]last hazy [Fmaj7]light
I saw the [G]fields beyond the [Em]fields
The [Am]fields beyond the [Am]fields [Am]
And the [Dm]colors are much [Dm]brighter now
It's like they [Em]really want to [Em]tell the truth
We [Dm]give our testi[Dm]mony to the [Em]end of the [Em]summer
It's the [F]end of the [F]summer
You can [Em9]spin the light to [Em9]gold
