Chords

[Intro] C Bb Dm C Bb x4 [Verse 1]

Dm        C         Bb
Squeaky swings and tall grass

    Dm        C     Bb
The longest shadows ever cast

    Dm      C         Bb
The water's warm and children swim

        Dm          C         Bb
And we frolicked about in our summer skin

[Verse 2]

Dm        C      Bb
I don't recall a single care

      Dm    C           Bb
Just greenery and humid air

      Dm    C  Bb
Then Labor day came and went

       Dm             C           Bb
And we shed what was left of our summer skin

[Interlude 1] (strum each chord once from top to bottom) F C Am Am G F F C Am Am G F [Verse 3]

        Dm        C          Bb
On the night you left I came over

       Dm          C                Bb
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders

    Dm         C             Bb
Our brand new coats were so flushed and pink

       Dm        C         Bb
And I knew your heart I couldn't win

[Refrain]

          Dm        C           Bb             Dm        C          Bb
Cause the seasons change was a conduit, and we left our love in our summer skin

[Outro] F C Am Am C Bb
