The End of the Summer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][Em][G][Am][Em][G][Am]
The summer
ends and we [Em]won der where we a[G]re
And [Am]there you go, my friends,
with your [Em]boxes in [G]your car
And you [C]both look so young
And last [G]night was hard, you said
You [Am]packed up every room
And then you [Em]cried and went to [G]bed
But today [Am]you closed the door and said
"We [Em]have to get a move on.
It's [F]just that time of year when we
[G]push ourselves [Em]ahead,
We [Am]push ourselves ahead."
And it was cloudy [Dm]in the morn[F]ing And it

[Verse 2]
[Em]
rained as you drove away
And the same [Dm]things looked different
[Em]It's the end of the summer
It's the end [Dm]of the summer,
When you [Em]move [Am]to another place[Em]
[Am]And I feel like the neighbor's

[Verse 3]
girl
who [Em]will never be the same
[G]She wal[Am]ked alone all spring,
She had a [Em]boy friend
when the summer [G]came
[C]And he gave her flowers
in a [G]lightning storm
[Am]They disappeared at night
[Em]in green fields of silver [G]corn
And [Am]sometime in July she just
[Em]forgot that he was leaving
[Am]So when th[F]e fields were dying,
she held on [G]to his sleeves
[Em]She held[Am] on to his sleeves

[Verse 4]
And she does[Dm]n't want to let
go
[Em]'Cause she won't
know what she's up against
The [Dm]classrooms and the smart [Am]girls
It's the [Em]end of the summer
It's the [Dm]en d of the summer
When you [Am]hang your flowers up to dry
[Em][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
[Em][G]
[Am]And I had a dream it blows the
[Em]au tumn through my h[G]ead
It [Am]felt like the first day of school
But I [Em]was going to the [G]moon instead
And I [C]walked down the hall
With the note[G]books they got for me
[Am]My dad led me through the house
My [Em]mom drank instant cof[G]fee
An[Am]d I knew that I would crash
But [Em]I didn't want to tell them
[F]There are just some moments when
your [G]family [Em]makes sense
[Am]They just make sense
So I [Dm]raised up my arms and [Em]my mother

[Verse 6]
put the sweater on
[Dm]We walked out on the dark and frozen
[Em]grass
The end of the summer
It's the end of [Dm]the summer
When you [Am]send your children
[Em]to the moon
[Am]

[Verse 7]
The summer ends and we
[Em]won der who we a[G]re
And [Am]there you go, my friends,
with your [Em]boxes in your [G]car
And [C]today I passed the high school,
the [G]river, the maple tree
I [Am]passed the farms that made it
Through the [Em]last days of the [G]century
[Am]And I knew that I was [Em]go
ing to learn again
Again, in [F]this less hazy light
I saw the fields [G]beyond the [Em]fields
The [Am]fields beyond the fields

[Verse 8]
And the [Dm]colors are much brighter
now
It's like they [Em]really want to tell the truth
We [Dm]give our testimony to
the end of [Em]the summer
It's the [Dm]end of the summer,
You can spin the light to [Em]gold.[Asus4]
