the Ferris wheel goes around and around
G#m7
Well the trouble with up is there's always a down
A
First I'm holding your hand and we're on the boardwalk
A
There's heaven right here on these streets and these docks
E
But the sun keeps settin', the days go fast
G#m7
And the sand on the beach is like an hourglass
A
and I can just feel it all slipping away
A
And babe I can already say that
E G#m7
As long I live, whatever I do
A
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
B E
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
G#m7
Baby it's true
A
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
B
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you
E G#m7 A A
E
Sooner or later it's all gonna stop
G#m7
We'll be rolling up windows and puttin' up tops
A
Be a cold wind blowin' the leaves through the air and
A
You won't find a tan line anywhere
E
Baby I know that it ain't over yet
G#m7
So let's make the most of what we have left
A
But it's hard living for this moment we're in and
A
Knowing it's all gonna end…
E G#m7
(As long I live), whatever I do (Whatever I do)
A
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
B E
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
G#m7
Baby it's true
A
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
B E
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you
B
Yeah looking at you, girl, standing there
A A A9
Got your wayfarers on and the sun in your hair
A B
And just like the song in a seashell, you'll be stuck in my mind
B
Bouncing around in my head
B
And baby I can tell that...
E G#m7
As long I live (as long as I live), whatever I do (Whatever I do)
A
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
B E
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
G#m7
Baby it's true
A
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
B E
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you
