G              D              Em7         CSitting in the Bandstand on a warm July evening with my friends,
G              D              Em7         CDrinking cheap cider with the smell of nicotine in the air.
Em7        C             G                       D         Em7We were naive enough to think that it would last forever, but
        C                 G             DNow the care free days of yesterday are gone.


[Chorus]
N.C          G                    DThat was the summer, when we were younger,
          Em7                         CWe had no rules we just drank till we chundered,
              G                             DSmoking cheap cigarettes, sat around placing bets
              Em7                          Don what might change but leave us with no regrets,
