[Verse 1]
G#m9 C#m7
Somewhere up there
G#m9 C#m7
In the high mountain air
G#m9 C#m7
Is the girl that I
B Emaj7 B B
Would have married
[Verse 2]
G#m9 C#m7
But the summer was too long
G#m9 C#m7
And the ocean was too wide
B C#m7
And the burden too heavy
B Emaj7 B B
To be carried
[Verse 3]
G#m9 C#m7
In the fall when things were new
G#m9 C#m7
We walked out and wandered through
G#m9 C#m7
And a word set my restless mind
B Emaj7 B B
To dreaming
[Verse 4]
G#m9 C#m7
When her soft warm caress
G#m9 C#m7
Made the hours stop and rest
B C#m7
I wondered if it was...
B
But it was semen
[Verse 5]
G#m9 C#m7
But the summer was too long
G#m9 C#m7
And the ocean was too wide
G#m9 C#m7
And our dreams too heavy
B Emaj7 B B
To be carried
[Verse 6]
G#m9 C#m7
In those quiet Autumn days
G#m9 C#m7
Sitting in some small cafe
B C#m7
Our worths they were set
B Emaj7 B B
To each other
[Verse 7]
G#m9 C#m7
Here then when late afternoon
G#m9 C#m7
Casted shadows across the room
G#m9 C#m7
We’d walk back down the road
B Emaj7 B B
Together
[Verse 8]
G#m9 C#m7
In the winter of the year
G#m9 C#m7
Through the snow you would appear
B C#m7
And we lay around and laughing times
B
Were easy
[Verse 9]
G#m9 C#m7
But our words were deaf and blind
G#m9 C#m7
To the coming summertime
G#m9 C#m7
Even though we knew inside
B
It was-a coming
[Verse 10]
G#m9 C#m7
And in the spring when it was warm
G#m9
I would hold your suntanned arm
C#m7
And we’d walk across the grass just
B
Feeling lazy
[Verse 11]
G#m9 C#m7
But our nights had just begun
G#m9 C#m7
To be worried restless ones
G#m9 C#m7
At the thoughts of the summer we
B
Were happy
[Verse 12]
G#m9 C#m7
When you’re young you likely seem
G#m9 C#m7
Like an endless happy dream
G#m9 C#m7
But your choices aren’t always yours
B
For making
[Verse 13]
G#m9 C#m7
So I sail across the mist
G#m9 C#m7
With a promise and a kiss
G#m9 C#m7
And I saw her face in every wave
B
That’s breaking
[Verse 14]
G#m9 C#m7
And the summer was too long
G#m9 C#m7
And the ocean was too wide
B C#m7
And the burden too heavy
B Emaj7 B B
To be carried
[Verse 15]
G#m9 C#m7
Well I’ve seen her lots of times
G#m9 C#m7
Since that summer all arrived
G#m9 C#m7
And I know that what we used to have
B
Is over
[Verse 16]
G#m9 C#m7
But somehow I can’t be sad
G#m9 C#m7
Thinking about the times we had
B C#m7
It was love and I'll remember it
B
Forever
[Verse 17]
G#m9 C#m7
And somewhere up there
G#m9 C#m7
In the high mountain air
G#m9 C#m7
Is the girl that I
B Emaj7 B B
Would have married
[Verse 18]
G#m9 C#m7
But the summer was too long
G#m9 C#m7
And the ocean was too wide
G#m9 C#m7
And the burden too heavy
B Emaj7 B Emaj7 B Emaj7
To be carried
