[Asus2]I was loud and a li[G]ttle sad.
[D/Dsus2]She was visiting from A[D/Dsus4]tlanta, Georgia.
[Asus2]She had come to spend the s[G]ummer with her dad.
[D/Dsus2]I thought she was [D/Dsus4]very pretty.
[C]We would kiss and hold [Em]hands
[C]Every night by the [Em]football field.
[C]Her body was t[Em]an
>From the a[D/Dsus2]fternoons by the public swimming pool.
CHORUS: (strum these chords)
[Asus2]Sweet evening b[G]reeze
Blows around my t[Asus2]houghts and memo[G]ries.
As I lie here t[Asus2]oday
And drink my t[G]ea,
[D]I can still see [Dsus4] [D]
Sweet evening b[Asus2]reeze. [G] [Asus2] [G] [Asus2] [G] [Asus2] [G]
VERSE 2:
[Asus2]I saw her in a c[G]offee shop
[D/Dsus2]In a big hotel down in [D/Dsus4]Austin, Texas.
[Asus2]She had cut her [G]long hair off
[D/Dsus2]And replaced it with
Blue e[G]yes o[D]f s[G]ad - n[D]ess.
[C]Still acted like we were [Em]kids
C *Fill*
And she told me that she had to marry
[C]And she asked me if I [Em]did
[D/Dsus2]Still remember.
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
[Asus2]How redundant the f[G]uture can be.
These [D/Dsus2]days of old are [D/Dsus4]very, very
[Asus2]Ridiculous for [G]me to see
When I [D/Dsus2]think about the [G]real [D]gone [G]stor - i[D]es
[C]And how time holds the winning [Em]hand.
C *Fill*
I can tell by the lines on our faces
[C]And the young can't under[Em]stand
That they [D/Dsus2]look at me
When they look at themselves.
CHORUS
