Key: D
Introduction:
E
Summer, it came
A
like a light across the highlands
E A
and we laid it down.
E
You wore a dress
A
made of light from the islands
E A
and we sent postcards home.
E
In dying light
A
this was not to be forgotten
E A
'cause we are the chosen few.
E A
Into the sea with the touch of softest cotton
E A
Beneath this angel moon
F#m B
Its been keeping me awake
E A
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
F#m B
and I’m not so strong
E A
to be satisfied by all the things I’ve done
F#m
and the things it threw away.
E
You wrote your name
A
as we lay among the heather.
E A
What you left behind
E A
Following paths that would lead us both together
E A
Let us lose our minds
F#m B
Its been keeping me awake
E A
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
F#m B
and I’m not so strong
E A
to be satisfied by all the things I’ve done
F#m
and the things it threw away.
E
Summer, it fell
A
and it coursed across the highlands
E A
and so quickly gone.
E A
Your faded dress for years now tied away and silent
E A
and the night’s late lullaby
F#m B
Its been keeping me awake
E A
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
F#m B
and I’m not so strong
E A
to be satisfied by all the things I’ve done
F#m
and the things it threw away.
E A
by all the things it threw away.
E A
By all the things it threw away
E A
By all the things it threw away
E A
By all the things it threw away
End on E
