In the summertime
                            Em
I don't know if the stars  were aligned
                              Am
We'd stumble onto something  we would like
                           G
And I'm afraid I lost the words tonight

                    C
And in your summer dress, was holding you
               Em
But you were holding less
                               Am
It's not the words, it's the ones you stress
                                 G
I love as I love you just don't  love me less

          F
And once  in a while
                        G
I know our hearts beat out of time
          F
And once  in a while
                      G
I know they'll fall  back in line

And when we're middle aged
                               Em
You tell me I loved you like a renegade
                                Am
And how I say the things that  make you sway
                            G
And mostly I told you you  did the same

          F
And once in a while
                         G
I know our hearts beat out of time
           F
And once in a while
                     G
I know they'll fall  back in line

( F ) 

              G
Our love is strong
             Am
Our love is strong
             G
Our love is strong
                                 C
While my heart's still pumping blood
