E              D
I spent too much money
       E        D
Looked far too glad
E D E D
E             D          E            D
Now I have so little of what I once had
E D E D
E              D         E            D
I had too many parties I had too much time
E D E D
E         D       E         D
I got so lazy and fell well behind
E D E

[Chorus]
        A         D          G          D
Now the summer is over I can count the cost
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
E
Footprints in the frost
    A         D          G         D
The summer is over I can count the cost
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
G          F#     E
Footprints in the frost
D E D E D E D

[Verse 2]
E               D     E                 D
We did so much damage deep in our insides
E D E D
E             D         E          D
The party's over, it's going home time
E D E D
E                D      E           D
The cathedral is empty, no one's at home
E D E D
E         D           E            D
Winter's approaching; paradise postponed
E D E D

[Chorus 2]
         A         D          G         D
Now the summer is over I can count the cost
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
G                   D
Footprints in the frost
A                D              G           D
Rain won't stop falling and the people look lost
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
G           F#      E
Footprints in the frost

[Middle]
E               D          E           D     E D
I rang lots of numbers and walked many miles
E
E             D                 E         D    E D
I watched the Flintstones and I turned my dial
E
E               D                E           D  E D
To a brand new station where the beat comes in
E
E            D         E           D
Now it's all over, the winter begins
E D E

[Chorus 3]
    A          D          G        D
The summer is over I can count the cost
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
G                  D
Footprints in the frost
A           D                 G         D
People with umbrellas disappear in the fog
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
G
Footprints in the frost
A D G
D            A D G
Oh in the frost x 8 to fade.
