1953

                    F#m       E 
I found you in the summer heat, 
C#m B F#m E C#m
of 1953
 B                   F#m         E
Wise words from your father said
 C#m

   B                    F#m       
"I know that boy's your brother's 
  E
friend,
C#m                   B          
but I don't think he keeps comin'
   F#m              E
 round for him
C#m         B          A
Again and again and again."

[Verse 2]
         F#m            E
I had to swim away,
C#m    B              F#m       
Semper Fi but I'll be back 
E      C#m
someday
 B                    F#m       E
I'll take you by the hand and say:
C#m         B          A        
"Be mine, be mine, be mine."
        B


[Chorus]
        E                 C#m     
And if someday, you grow tired and
              A
 your memory fades,
        E             C#m      
it's alright, I will never leave 
        A
your side
    E              A            
And oh, when it's time, you can 
F#m  G#m  A

[Verse 3]
Leave New York and see the 
 F#m        E
countryside
C#m       B         F#m    E
Little city and a bigger life
C#m       B          F#m      E
Watch it grow into a thousand eyes
C#m        B          A
It's ours, it's ours, it's ours
 C#m           B          A
Oh, it's ours, it's ours, it's ours

[Chorus]
        E                 C#m     
And if someday, you grow tired and
              A
 your memory fades,
        E             C#m      
it's alright, I will never leave 
        A
your side
    E              A            
And oh, when it's time, you can 
F#m  G#m  A
come find me,

[Bridge]
                     E
It's written in the gold rain
                C#m            B
Passed down the light
                E
Hangin' in the branches
                    C#m       B
You see it in their eyes
                 E
Pressed in the concrete
                  C#m        B
Where we used to reside
                  A      B
It's larger than life

[Chorus]
             E           C#m      
And if someday, you grow tired and
              A
 your memory fades,
      E                 C#m       
it's okay. And when my heart gives
  A
 away,
        E             C#m      
it's alright, I will never leave 
        A
your side
    E              A         F#m  
And oh, when it's time, just come 
G#m  A
find me
