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

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

Those days are gone  You and I were young those summer nights  
You'll see the world diving for a girl you'll never find 

               Am Em:022010    F    G
and then we'll quietly    grow old: the saddest story ever told.

Once upon a time we fell in love or at least that's what you said  
You say I can find someone else but I just wish I was dead  

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