Summerfly - Cheryl Wheeler
View chords used in this chart
Am Dm
In another younger day I could dream the time away in the universe inside my room.
E7 Am
And the world was really mine from June until September.
 
Am
And if it wasn't really so, well I was lucky not to know,
Dm
And I was lucky not to wonder why,
E7 Am
Cause a starry night is all that I remember.
 
[Refrão]
Am F
Summerfly was buzzing every night when I was young,
E7 Am
In the gentle world my child like senses knew.
Am F
When the world was just my cousin and the wind was just the tongue,
E7 Am
In the voice my lonely moments listened to.
 
Verso 2
 
And I look at me today and the dreams have gone away, and I'm where I never thought I 'd be.
Seeing things I never thought I would see happening to me.
And I lay awake at night while the darkness turns to light,
Hearing voices calling out my name.
Droning over and again the same message to me.
 
[Refrão]
 
Crying who's your partner, who's your darling, who's your baby now.
Who wakes up at night to pull you in.
Well, it don't matter you'll just make her lonely anyhow,
I don't know why you even try to win.
 
Bridge
 
F G Am
Oh this'll never fly, get out while you can
Dm C G
Look into the mirror say it's not the same again
F G Am
Every single time, Makes us fall apart
Dm C G E7
Slamming door, slipping pride, sad and angry heart
