[Verse 1]
D                    A/C#
   Your ever lastin' summer,

        Bm7                  A
You can see it fading fast,

       D               A/C#
So you grab a piece of somethin'...

         Bm7                  A
That you think is gonna last,

          Gdim7                Bm/F#
Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond...

       Dm6/F           A/E
If you held it in your hand,

    D                    A/C#
The things you think are precious...

        Bm7          A   N.C
I can't understand
[Chorus]
N.C.                   Gmaj9
Are you reelin' in the years,

                 A
Stowin' away the time?

                         Gmaj9
Are you gatherin' up the tears?

                       A
Have you had enough of mine?

N.C.                   Gmaj9
Are you reelin' in the years,

                 A
Stowin' away the time?

                         Gmaj9
Are you gatherin' up the tears?

                       F#m7
Have you had enough of mine?
[Verse 2]
D                    A/C#
    You been tellin' me you're a genius...

Bm7                    A
Since you were seven - teen,

   D                 A/C#
In all the time I've known you,

        Bm7                       A
I still don't know what you mean,

    Gdim7          Bm/F#
The weekend in the college...

       Dm6/F             A/E
Didn't turn out like you planned,

    D                    A/C#
The things that pass for knowledge...

        Bm7          A   N.C.
I can't understand
[Chorus]
N.C.                   Gmaj9
Are you reelin' in the years,

                 A
Stowin' away the time?

                         Gmaj9
Are you gatherin' up the tears?

                       A
Have you had enough of mine?

N.C.                   Gmaj9
Are you reelin' in the years,

                 A
Stowin' away the time?

                         Gmaj9

And I spent a lot of time,

    D               A/C#
The trip we made to Hollywood...

              Bm7            A
Is etched u - pon my mind,

After all the things we've done and seen,

    Dm6/F        A/E
You find another man,

    D                    A/C#
The things you think are useless...
