C           G/B     Am        C
The summer days are gone too soon
 F            C     F         G
You shoot the moon, miss completely
 C             G/B      Am       C
And now you've left to face the gloom,
    F       C         F            G
The empty room, that once smelled sweetly
 Am        Em           F          C
Of all the flowers you plucked if finally
    G      C      G   Am       Em     F
you knew the reason.  Why you had to each 
   C               G     C    G
be lonely.  Was it just the season.

begin to give in, it's all over.

When the snows come rolling through

you've rolling too with some new lover.
 Am      Em    F               C
Will you think of times you've told me
         G         C    G  Am    Em
that you knew the reason why we had to 
 F    C      G   C       G       C     G
each be lonely.  Was it just the season.
