Summer’s End

(Capo 2)
C Em
Summer’s end’s around the bend just flying
C Em
The swimming suits are on the line just drying
F G
I’ll meet you there per our conver - sation
F G
I hope I didn’t ruin your whole va - cation
Well, you never know how far from home you’re feeling
Until you watch the shadows cross the ceiling
Well I don’t know, but I can see it - snowing
In your car the windows are wide - open
Chorus:
C Am
Just come on home come on home
F G
No, you don’t have to be alone
C
Just come on home.
Valentines break hearts and minds at random
That ol’ Easter egg ain’t got a leg to stand on
Well I can see that you can’t win for trying
And New Year’s Eve is bound to leave you - crying (Chorus)
The moon and stars hang out in bars just talking
I still love that picture of us walking
Just like that ol’ house we thought was haunted
Summer’s end came faster than we - wanted (Chorus)
