Dan's Song

Chords

Standard

C                              Em
Me and my friend Dan are gonna get some beers and then
            F              G                   C
We're gonna go down to the park and drink them there
      C                            Em  
We'll bask out in the sun, bring a guitar and play some songs
            F              G               Am
Call up our friends and invite them out to share

           Em          F              C 
What might be the last weekend of the summer
         Dm                            Am
Cause September's getting colder as it goes
       F            G              C      Em      Am
And we haven't done enough of this simple kind of stuff
                F                   G            C
this year. It's clear we're getting older and it shows

C                  Em             F 
Work weeks make us weary now and school's a distant memory
     G                           C
It's easy to ask questions of ourselves,
C                       Em            F
Like: where it is we're going now and what we have to show
            G                         Am
For all the sunny days shut up in the shells

        Em             F        C 
Of expectations of our ultimate directions
        Dm                                      Am
And the stations that we should have reached by now
        F                G              C      Em        Am
When we haven't read the script and our tender wings are clipped
          F                  G               C
And we're scared we might be letting someone down

C  G  F  Dm
C  G  F  Em  Dm  Em  Dm

C                                      Em 
So we listen to these heartbreak songs when nothing's really wrong
       F                G                   C
And we smile when we're asked and say we're fine

C                                                  Em
But we're drifting through our middle days, we're creeping into middle age
F              G                    Am
Setting in our ways... But now it's time
   Em             F            C 
To decide now its time to draw a line
       Dm                                 Am
In the sand and ask what's more important than days like today
             F     G         C           Em      Am
So grab some beers call your friends and meet us here
       F               G                 C       G        C
In the summer park with me and my friend Dan
