C G
We danced all night
Am F
And swam at dawn
C G C
In the summer of eighty nine
C G
Our lives stretched out
Am F
Like a rolling lawn
C G C
In the summer of eighty nine
Am G C
I see you standing there
Am G C
In that dress you used to wear
C G
You stole my heart
Am F
But I didn't mind
C G C
In the summer of eighty nine
[Bridge]
F C
Brazilian music on the stereo
F C
We hiked the long trail to a spring
F C
I took blades of grass
C G C
And I wove you a ring
[Interlude over first half of verse]
C G
Our eyes were bright
Am F
But our smiles were worn
C G C
In the summer of '95
C G
Onnnnnnnn the road
Am F
When our first was born
C G C
In the summer of '95
Am G C
We'd sing to put her down
Am G C
As the bus rolled out of town
C G
We were driving blind
Am F
No clue where we'd arrive
C G C
In the summer of '95
[Bridge]
F C
Life changes, time presses on
F C
It seems each year goes faster than the last
F C
No, it's not that I don't like the way things are
C G C
But lately time just drives me right back to the past
[Interlude over first half of verse; then:]

F (quiet) G
Glad to find any time alone
Am F
And it's summer once again
C G
The days unfold
Am F
But they're not our own
C G C
Remember our life back then
Am G C
We shared one small room
Am G C
And a bed and a chair
C G
I close my eyes
Am F
You touch my hand
C G C
You smile and I'm there
F C
You're the same girl I loved back then
C G
For now and all time
Am F
You'll be that girl of mine
C G F
From the summer of eighty nine
C G (then gsus > c)
(there’s a slight walk-down of sorts in that G chord that heads
back to the C…Listen to a copy for reference )
C G
And we danced all night
And we danced all night
