[Verse 1]
F#m9 Bm7
Somewhere up there
F#m9 Bm7
In the high mountain air
F#m9 Bm7
Is the girl that I
A Dmaj7 A A
Would have married
[Verse 2]
F#m9 Bm7
But the summer was too long
F#m9 Bm7
And the ocean was too wide
A Bm7
And the burden too heavy
A Dmaj7 A A
To be carried
[Verse 3]
F#m9 Bm7
In the fall when things were new
F#m9 Bm7
We walked out and wandered through
F#m9 Bm7
And a word set my restless mind
A Dmaj7 A A
To dreaming
[Verse 4]
F#m9 Bm7
When her soft warm caress
F#m9 Bm7
Made the hours stop and rest
A Bm7
I wondered if it was...
A
But it was semen
[Verse 5]
F#m9 Bm7
But the summer was too long
F#m9 Bm7
And the ocean was too wide
F#m9 Bm7
And our dreams too heavy
A Dmaj7 A A
To be carried
[Verse 6]
F#m9 Bm7
In those quiet Autumn days
F#m9 Bm7
Sitting in some small cafe
A Bm7
Our worths they were set
A Dmaj7 A A
To each other
[Verse 7]
F#m9 Bm7
Here then when late afternoon
F#m9 Bm7
Casted shadows across the room
F#m9 Bm7
We’d walk back down the road
A Dmaj7 A A
Together
[Verse 8]
F#m9 Bm7
In the winter of the year
F#m9 Bm7
Through the snow you would appear
A Bm7
And we lay around and laughing times
A
Were easy
[Verse 9]
F#m9 Bm7
But our words were deaf and blind
F#m9 Bm7
To the coming summertime
F#m9 Bm7
Even though we knew inside
A
It was-a coming
[Verse 10]
F#m9 Bm7
And in the spring when it was warm
F#m9
I would hold your suntanned arm
Bm7
And we’d walk across the grass just
A
Feeling lazy
[Verse 11]
F#m9 Bm7
But our nights had just begun
F#m9 Bm7
To be worried restless ones
F#m9 Bm7
At the thoughts of the summer we
A
Were happy
[Verse 12]
F#m9 Bm7
When you’re young you likely seem
F#m9 Bm7
Like an endless happy dream
F#m9 Bm7
But your choices aren’t always yours
A
For making
[Verse 13]
F#m9 Bm7
So I sail across the mist
F#m9 Bm7
With a promise and a kiss
F#m9 Bm7
And I saw her face in every wave
A
That’s breaking
[Verse 14]
F#m9 Bm7
And the summer was too long
F#m9 Bm7
And the ocean was too wide
A Bm7
And the burden too heavy
A Dmaj7 A A
To be carried
[Verse 15]
F#m9 Bm7
Well I’ve seen her lots of times
F#m9 Bm7
Since that summer all arrived
F#m9 Bm7
And I know that what we used to have
A
Is over
[Verse 16]
F#m9 Bm7
But somehow I can’t be sad
F#m9 Bm7
Thinking about the times we had
A Bm7
It was love and I'll remember it
A
Forever
[Verse 17]
F#m9 Bm7
And somewhere up there
F#m9 Bm7
In the high mountain air
F#m9 Bm7
Is the girl that I
A Dmaj7 A A
Would have married
[Verse 18]
F#m9 Bm7
But the summer was too long
F#m9 Bm7
And the ocean was too wide
F#m9 Bm7
And the burden too heavy
A Dmaj7 A Dmaj7 A Dmaj7
To be carried
