[Verse 1]
Am9 Dm7
Somewhere up there
Am9 Dm7
In the high mountain air
Am9 Dm7
Is the girl that I
C Fmaj7 C C
Would have married
[Verse 2]
Am9 Dm7
But the summer was too long
Am9 Dm7
And the ocean was too wide
C Dm7
And the burden too heavy
C Fmaj7 C C
To be carried
[Verse 3]
Am9 Dm7
In the fall when things were new
Am9 Dm7
We walked out and wandered through
Am9 Dm7
And a word set my restless mind
C Fmaj7 C C
To dreaming
[Verse 4]
Am9 Dm7
When her soft warm caress
Am9 Dm7
Made the hours stop and rest
C Dm7
I wondered if it was...
C
But it was semen
[Verse 5]
Am9 Dm7
But the summer was too long
Am9 Dm7
And the ocean was too wide
Am9 Dm7
And our dreams too heavy
C Fmaj7 C C
To be carried
[Verse 6]
Am9 Dm7
In those quiet Autumn days
Am9 Dm7
Sitting in some small cafe
C Dm7
Our worths they were set
C Fmaj7 C C
To each other
[Verse 7]
Am9 Dm7
Here then when late afternoon
Am9 Dm7
Casted shadows across the room
Am9 Dm7
We’d walk back down the road
C Fmaj7 C C
Together
[Verse 8]
Am9 Dm7
In the winter of the year
Am9 Dm7
Through the snow you would appear
C Dm7
And we lay around and laughing times
C
Were easy
[Verse 9]
Am9 Dm7
But our words were deaf and blind
Am9 Dm7
To the coming summertime
Am9 Dm7
Even though we knew inside
C
It was-a coming
[Verse 10]
Am9 Dm7
And in the spring when it was warm
Am9
I would hold your suntanned arm
Dm7
And we’d walk across the grass just
C
Feeling lazy
[Verse 11]
Am9 Dm7
But our nights had just begun
Am9 Dm7
To be worried restless ones
Am9 Dm7
At the thoughts of the summer we
C
Were happy
[Verse 12]
Am9 Dm7
When you’re young you likely seem
Am9 Dm7
Like an endless happy dream
Am9 Dm7
But your choices aren’t always yours
C
For making
[Verse 13]
Am9 Dm7
So I sail across the mist
Am9 Dm7
With a promise and a kiss
Am9 Dm7
And I saw her face in every wave
C
That’s breaking
[Verse 14]
Am9 Dm7
And the summer was too long
Am9 Dm7
And the ocean was too wide
C Dm7
And the burden too heavy
C Fmaj7 C C
To be carried
[Verse 15]
Am9 Dm7
Well I’ve seen her lots of times
Am9 Dm7
Since that summer all arrived
Am9 Dm7
And I know that what we used to have
C
Is over
[Verse 16]
Am9 Dm7
But somehow I can’t be sad
Am9 Dm7
Thinking about the times we had
C Dm7
It was love and I'll remember it
C
Forever
[Verse 17]
Am9 Dm7
And somewhere up there
Am9 Dm7
In the high mountain air
Am9 Dm7
Is the girl that I
C Fmaj7 C C
Would have married
[Verse 18]
Am9 Dm7
But the summer was too long
Am9 Dm7
And the ocean was too wide
Am9 Dm7
And the burden too heavy
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
To be carried
