she smiled in a big way, t ^A he way ^E a girl like that smiles
when the world is hers and she ^Fm# held your eyes ^D
out in t ^A he breezeway down by the sh ^E ore in the lazy summer ^{Fm# D}
and she ^A pulled you in, and she bit your lip, ^E and she made you hers ^{Fm# D}
she looke ^Fm# d deep into you as you l ^D ay together quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer
but you've alread ^A y lost ^E
but you've alread ^Fm# y lost ^D
but you've alread ^A y lost ^E
when you only had barely e ^Fm# nough to hang on ^D
and she combed your hair, ^A and sh ^E e kissed your teeth
and she made you better than yo ^Fm# u'd been before ^D
she ^D told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer
and she ^Fm# told you, laughing dow ^D n to her core, so she would not cry as she lay in your lap
^Fm# she said "nobody here ca ^D n live forever, quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer"
but you've alread ^A y lost ^E
but you've alrea ^Fm# dy lost ^D
but you've alread ^A y lost ^E
when you only had barely e ^Fm# nough to hang on ^D
E she said, "no one is alone the way you are alone" ^E
and you held her looser ^A than you would have if you ever could have known
^A some things tie your life together, slender threads and things ^E to treasure
^Fm# days like that should last and last and last ^E
A but you've alrea ^E dy lost
but you've alrea ^Fm# dy lost ^D
but you've alread ^A y lost ^E
when you only had barely e ^Fm# nough to hang on ^D
