 F           C/E                   Dm7            C 
  Your ever lastin' summer, you can see it fadin' fast, 
 F             C/E                         Dm7            C 
  So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last. 
            Gm7                    D/F#          Fm7           C/E 
   Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand; 
  F           C/E                   Dm7            C 
  The things you think are precious I can't understand. 

                                Bbmaj9                   C   
         Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time? 
                                Bbmaj9                         C 
         Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine 
                                Bbmaj9                    C 
         Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time? 
                                Bbmaj9                         Am7 
         Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine 


     F                   C/E             Dm7            C 
    You been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen; 
     F             C/E               Dm7                         C 
    In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean. 
     Gm7                    D/F#          Fm7           C/E 
    The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned; 
     F             C/E               Dm7             C 
    The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand. 

                                Bbmaj9                   C   
          Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time? 
                                Bbmaj9                         C 
         Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine 
                                Bbmaj9                    C 
         Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time? 
                                Bbmaj9                         Am7 
         Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine 

        

    F                   C/E           Dm7            C 
    I've spent a lit of money and I spent a lot of time; 
     F                   C/E     Dm7               C 
   The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind. 
    Gm7                    D/F#          Fm7           C/E 
    After all the things we've done and seen you find another man; 
     F                   C/E           Dm7        C 
   The things you think are useless I can't understand. 



               Bbmaj9                   C   
         Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time? 
                                Bbmaj9                         C
