A Am D Dm A In the evening sun
D Dm A Am E In the evening sun [Bridge]
A E Go your separate way now
G C A E Someday you'll come back and I'll be dreaming I was sunburned
G C I don't want to break your heart in
A E Break your heart in two halves
G C A Keep one half and give one half to me
A E I like the summer - miss the summer
G C E Tell me, what'd you do? Nothing? Me too... [Verse]
E F# B All actors they're pretending
B E D#m C#m E And singers they sometimes lie
E F# B Oh kids are always honest
B E D#m C#m E Cause they don't think they're ever gonna die
E F# B You're the prettiest smartest captain of the team
B E D#m C#m I love you more than being seventeen [Pre-Chorus] (Alternative: just hit the 4th fret of A instead of playing the full chord, C#m I think it builds to the last chorus more, but it's up to you) [Chorus]
