[Verse 1]
C#m9 F#m7
Somewhere up there
C#m9 F#m7
In the high mountain air
C#m9 F#m7
Is the girl that I
E Amaj7 E E
Would have married
[Verse 2]
C#m9 F#m7
But the summer was too long
C#m9 F#m7
And the ocean was too wide
E F#m7
And the burden too heavy
E Amaj7 E E
To be carried
[Verse 3]
C#m9 F#m7
In the fall when things were new
C#m9 F#m7
We walked out and wandered through
C#m9 F#m7
And a word set my restless mind
E Amaj7 E E
To dreaming
[Verse 4]
C#m9 F#m7
When her soft warm caress
C#m9 F#m7
Made the hours stop and rest
E F#m7
I wondered if it was...
E
But it was semen
[Verse 5]
C#m9 F#m7
But the summer was too long
C#m9 F#m7
And the ocean was too wide
C#m9 F#m7
And our dreams too heavy
E Amaj7 E E
To be carried
[Verse 6]
C#m9 F#m7
In those quiet Autumn days
C#m9 F#m7
Sitting in some small cafe
E F#m7
Our worths they were set
E Amaj7 E E
To each other
[Verse 7]
C#m9 F#m7
Here then when late afternoon
C#m9 F#m7
Casted shadows across the room
C#m9 F#m7
We’d walk back down the road
E Amaj7 E E
Together
[Verse 8]
C#m9 F#m7
In the winter of the year
C#m9 F#m7
Through the snow you would appear
E F#m7
And we lay around and laughing times
E
Were easy
[Verse 9]
C#m9 F#m7
But our words were deaf and blind
C#m9 F#m7
To the coming summertime
C#m9 F#m7
Even though we knew inside
E
It was-a coming
[Verse 10]
C#m9 F#m7
And in the spring when it was warm
C#m9
I would hold your suntanned arm
F#m7
And we’d walk across the grass just
E
Feeling lazy
[Verse 11]
C#m9 F#m7
But our nights had just begun
C#m9 F#m7
To be worried restless ones
C#m9 F#m7
At the thoughts of the summer we
E
Were happy
[Verse 12]
C#m9 F#m7
When you’re young you likely seem
C#m9 F#m7
Like an endless happy dream
C#m9 F#m7
But your choices aren’t always yours
E
For making
[Verse 13]
C#m9 F#m7
So I sail across the mist
C#m9 F#m7
With a promise and a kiss
C#m9 F#m7
And I saw her face in every wave
E
That’s breaking
[Verse 14]
C#m9 F#m7
And the summer was too long
C#m9 F#m7
And the ocean was too wide
E F#m7
And the burden too heavy
E Amaj7 E E
To be carried
[Verse 15]
C#m9 F#m7
Well I’ve seen her lots of times
C#m9 F#m7
Since that summer all arrived
C#m9 F#m7
And I know that what we used to have
E
Is over
[Verse 16]
C#m9 F#m7
But somehow I can’t be sad
C#m9 F#m7
Thinking about the times we had
E F#m7
It was love and I'll remember it
E
Forever
[Verse 17]
C#m9 F#m7
And somewhere up there
C#m9 F#m7
In the high mountain air
C#m9 F#m7
Is the girl that I
E Amaj7 E E
Would have married
[Verse 18]
C#m9 F#m7
But the summer was too long
C#m9 F#m7
And the ocean was too wide
C#m9 F#m7
And the burden too heavy
E Amaj7 E Amaj7 E Amaj7
To be carried
