Intro: C

C
Early in the summer,
     C
when nothing seems to mean too much.
C         B       F
All night walking through the streets,
       Em      D          C
on the day our lips first touched.

C
Up in her apartment,
   C
oh she don't live here no more.
C          C          B        F
There were poems and paintings everywhere,
        Em       D             C
and the mattress laying on the floor.

F
Hey,
             C
honey stay a while.
F
Hey,
             C
honey stay a while.
       F      Em
Stay a while,
     C
with me.

And I took her to the country,
  C
I took her to my childhood home.
  C         B      F
A beautiful place, far from the city,
                Em
where no matter who you're with,
    D              C
you always feel alone.

F
Hey,
             C
honey stay a while.
F
Hey,

Stay a while,
     C
with me.

And I heard from a friend that saw her
C
out on the west coast.
    C         B      F
The place she always talked about,

where she loved to live the most.
