Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramA augmentedA     Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramA augmentedAVerse 1:
Chord diagramA augmentedA                Chord diagramE minorEm                    Chord diagramD MajorD
The boy from Rye came down on the train
                         Chord diagramA augmentedA
With his parents and his sister
                       Chord diagramE minor 7Em7
Where the summer lawns roll down to the sea
    Chord diagramD MajorD                        Chord diagramA augmentedA
And the air is softer than a whisper
Verse 2:
Chord diagramA augmentedA                     Chord diagramE minorEm
The girls from school in our summer tans
Chord diagramD MajorD                           Chord diagramA augmentedA
Suddenly self conscious and uncertain
                Chord diagramE minorEm
All in a row we arranged ourselves for him
Chord diagramD MajorD                    Chord diagramA augmentedA
Waiting to see if we deserved him


♫ Chorus:
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramA augmentedA
One too fat, one too thin
Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramA augmentedA
One too many flaws to measure
Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramA augmentedA
Impossible to live inside your skin
Chord diagramG+G                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
And serve at someone else’s pleasure


♫ Interlude:
Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramE minor 7Em7  Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramA augmentedAVerse 3:
Chord diagramA augmentedA                   Chord diagramE minorEm
Our parents dozed after tennis and a swim
Chord diagramD MajorD                          Chord diagramA augmentedA
And disappeared into their gin and tonics
                   Chord diagramE minor 7Em7
And there we were, alone with him
Chord diagramD MajorD                     Chord diagramA augmentedA
His smile knowing and ironic
Chorus:
Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramD MajorD           Chord diagramA augmentedA
One too strong, one too smart
Chord diagramG+G                  Chord diagramA augmentedA
But none immune to love or summer
Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramA augmentedA
One by one he broke our virgin hearts
Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramA augmentedA
And set us one against the other


♫ Interlude:
Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramD MajorD   Chord diagramA augmentedA   Chord diagramE minor 7Em7
Chord diagramD MajorD   Chord diagramA augmentedAVerse 4:
Chord diagramA augmentedA                  Chord diagramE minorEm
We dreamed of boys and kisses on the lawn
Chord diagramD MajorD                               Chord diagramA augmentedA
We yearned to feel that mystery inside us
                       Chord diagramE minorEm
And there we were with the summer nearly gone
Chord diagramD MajorD                     Chord diagramA augmentedA
We’d let that mystery divide us


♫ Chorus:
Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramA augmentedA
I lost you – you lost me
Chord diagramG+G        Chord diagramA augmentedA
So long ago we barely can remember
Chord diagramG+G                    Chord diagramA augmentedA
And the boy from Rye took the train back home
Chord diagramG+G                        Chord diagramA augmentedA
And the world moved on into September


♫ Outro:
Chord diagramA augmentedA   Chord diagramE minorEm   Chord diagramD MajorD    Chord diagramA augmentedA     Chord diagramE minorEm
Chord diagramD MajorD   Chord diagramA augmentedA
