The Summer We Raised You

A E D A Confess my sins to the falling rain A E D A they all come down like radio waves A E D A and I cut my teeth on the torture and pain E D but no one seems to notice A E D A Cantilever my sight will stretch this span A E D A crossing over a sea a sea of red F#m D A and I throw my seeds in a hole F#m D A into the earth but nothing grows A D A The summer we sat in the sun we raised you A E D A Slowly your sent it fades like yesterday E D A and the only thing that I have A E D A Is an empty house that's filled with your effigy E D A now I'm forced to sit alone and A E D A Cantilever my sight will stretch this span A E D A crossing over a sea a sea of red F#m D A and I throw my seeds in a hole F#m D A into the earth but nothing grows A E F#m And maybe someday I will come around A E F#m When the buildings have fallen and plants have covered the ground A D A The summer we sat in the sun we raised you
