Intro: A Asus4 Em (or something close to Em, an open A with the lower
                   two fingers lifted, maybe)

        A          E         G A
Took a sad song of one sweet evening
    E          G      D       A
I smiled and quickly turned away.
         A     E       G   A
It's not easy singing sad songs
      E        G       D             A
but still the easiest way I have to say.
             G             D  A
So when you look into the sun
              G                D    A
and see the things we haven't done --
           G              D
oh was it better then to run
          C                A
than to spend the summer crying.
     C             G       A
Now summer cannot come anyway.
 

** THE REST IS THE SAME **
 

I had waited for time to change her.

The only change that came was over me.

She pretended not to want love --

I hope she was only fooling me.

So when you look into the sun

look for the pleasures nearly won.

Or was it better then to run

than to spend the summer singing.

And summer could have come in a day.
 
 

So if you hear my sad song singing

remember who and what you nearly had.

It's not easy singing sad songs

when you can sing the song to make me glad.

So when you look into the sun

and see the words you could have sung:

It's not too late, only begun,

we can still make summer.

Yes, summer always comes anyway.
 
 

So when you look into the sun

and see the words you could have sung:

It's not too late, only begun.

Look into the sun.
