VERSE:
C majorC      E minorEm     DmDm           G+G
 Once I’d wake up I`d reach out and take your hand
DmDm         G+G      C majorC       C majorC
 The sky was our blanket, our pillow was the sand

C majorC       E minorEm    DmDm           G+G
 Then on the beach and that’s where we fell in love
  DmDm       G+G          C majorC          C majorC
The only one who shared our love were the bright stars up above

C majorC     E minorEm    DmDm         G+G
 Now all I have is my lonely room and winter’s come
DmDm           G+G        C majorC           C majorC
 The only sound that can be heard are my teardrops as they fall


CHORUS:
 C majorC  G+G   Bb majorBb       FF   Bb majorBb       FF
(Remember) Sweet sounds of summer it drives too strongly break
 Bb majorBb       FF      C majorC
Sweet ways are humming with a sigh

 C majorC     Bb majorBb       FF   Bb majorBb     FF
(Remember) Sweet sounds of summer wish I was stronger break
 Bb majorBb        FF      C majorC
Our hearts were slowly way up high


POST-CHORUS:
     F minorFm       Bb majorBb       F minorFm      Bb majorBb
To those sweet sound was caught, to the quiet of our kiss
    F minorFm      Bb majorBb     F minorFm      Bb majorBb
To the quiet of our lips spelled to our fingertips
       C majorC      A minorAm  C majorC    B minorBm
And we were lost and in love (so very lost)
