Verse 1: Am F/C G Another long summer's come and gone Am F/C G I don't know why it always ends this way Am F/C G The boardwalk's quiet and the carnival rides F/C G Are as empty as my broken heart tonight Chorus: Fadd9 Csus But I close my eyes and one more time G We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly Fadd9 Csus The words came out, I kissed your mouth G No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly Fadd9 G You had to go, I understand G But you promised you'd be back again Fadd9 G And so I wander 'round this town 'Til summer comes around Bridge: e|-------------------------0-------------------------------15-17/15----------| B|-0/1---0/1---0/1---0/1------1----1/3--------12-13/12-----15-17/15----------| G|-0/2---0/2---0/2---0/2-----------2/4---------------------------------------| D|-------------3-----3-------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse 2: Am F/C G I got a job working at the old park pier Am F/C G And every summer now for five long years Am F/C G I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts, straighten the tracks F/C G And I count the days til you just might come back Chorus: Fadd9 Csus And then I close my eyes and one more time G We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly Fadd9 Csus The words came out, I kissed your mouth G No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly Fadd9 G You had to go, I understand G But you swore you'd be back again Fadd9 G And so I'm frozen in this town 'Til summer comes around Verse 3: Fadd9 Csus And I close my eyes and you and I G Are stuck on the Ferris wheel rocking with the motions Fadd9 Csus And Hand in hand we cried and laughed G Knowing that love belonged to us girl, if only for a moment Fadd9 Csus G And "Baby I'll be back again" you whispered in my ear Fadd9 G But now the winter wind is the only sound Fadd9 G And everything is closing down Am 'Til summer comes around ************************************ | / Slide up ************************************
