In The Summertime
View chords used in this chart
C
In the summertime
Em
I don't know if the stars were aligned
Am
We'd stumble onto something we would like
G
And I'm afraid I lost the words tonight
C
And in your summer dress, was holding you
Em
But you were holding less
Am
It's not the words, it's the ones you stress
G
I love as I love you just don't love me less
F
And once in a while
G
I know our hearts beat out of time
F
And once in a while
G
I know they'll fall back in line
C
In the summertime
Em
I don't know if the stars were aligned
Am
We'd stumble onto something we would like
G
And I'm afraid I lost the words tonight
C
And when we're middle aged
Em
You tell me I loved you like a renegade
Am
And how I say the things that make you sway
G
And mostly I told you you did the same
F
And once in a while
G
I know our hearts beat out of time
F
And once in a while
G
I know they'll fall back in line
( F )
G
Our love is strong
Am
Our love is strong
G
Our love is strong
C
While my heart's still pumping blood
