  So many choices it's not fair
A              E              D        D

  In the shops are shiny things
F#m               E
   I can see them glittering

   Summer clothes and tennis shoes
E                  D       A
  When the light begins to fade
  D                       E
A porch swing creaks with lemonade...

  Streetlights twinkling like dew
A            E                 D    D
