The Summer We Raised You

Chords

Standard

A        E           D       A
Confess my sins to the falling rain 
A            E         D      A
they all come down like radio waves 
A            E            D           A
and I cut my teeth on the torture and pain 
      E              D
but no one seems to notice 

  A            E             D          A
Cantilever my sight will stretch this span 
  A            E         D      A
crossing over a sea, a sea of red 
                 F#m          D A
and I throw my seeds in a hole 
          F#m         D       A
into the earth but nothing grows 

   A                     D        A
The summer we sat in the sun we raised you 

A            E       D          A
Slowly, your sent it fades like yesterday 
        E               D   A
and the only thing that I have 
A          E            D                  A
Is an empty house that's filled with your effigy
        E             D      A 
now I'm forced to sit alone and 

  A            E             D          A
Cantilever my sight will stretch this span 
  A            E         D      A
crossing over a sea, a sea of red 
                F#m         D A
and I throw my seeds in a hole 
          F#m         D       A
into the earth but nothing grows 

     A           E                 F#m
And maybe someday I will come around 
           A                         E                        F#m
When the buildings have fallen and plants have covered the ground 

   A                     D        A
The summer we sat in the sun we raised you
