Intro - E E/Eb A Ax2
EE/Eb
Summer, it came
AA
like a light across the highlands
EE/EbAA
and we laid it down.
EE/Eb
You wore a dress
AA
made of light from the islands
EE/EbAA
and we sent postcards home.
E E/Eb A A x2
EE/Eb
In dying light
AA
this was not to be forgotten
EE/EbAA
cause we are the chosen few.
EE/EbAA
Into the sea with the touch of softest cotton
EE/EbAA
Beneath this angel moon
F#mB
Its been keeping me awake
EE/EbAA
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
F#mB
and Im not so strong
EE/EbAA
to be satisfied by all the things Ive done
F#m
and the things it threw away.

EE/Eb
You wrote your name
AA
as we lay among the heather.
EE/EbAA
What you left behind
EE/EbAA
Following paths that would lead us both together
EE/EbAA
Let us lose our minds
F#mB
Its been keeping me awake
EE/EbAA
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
F#mB
and Im not so strong
EE/EbAA
to be satisfied by all the things Ive done
F#m
and the things it threw away.

E E/Eb A A x4
EE/Eb
Summer, it fell
AA
and it coursed across the highlands
EE/EbAA
and so quickly gone.
EE/EbAA
Your faded dress for years now tied away and silent
EE/EbAA
and the nights late lullaby
F#mB
Its been keeping me awake
EE/EbAA
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
F#mB
and Im not so strong
EE/EbAA
to be satisfied by all the things Ive done
F#m
and the things it threw away.
EE/EbAA
by all the things it threw away.
EE/EbAA
By all the things it threw away
EE/EbAA
By all the things it threw away
EE/EbAA
By all the things it threw away
End on E
