[Verse]
A                    A / G# / F#
Seasons will change              and so will you
     D                              E(VII)
I've seen the signs a million times before
           D                 A
You try so hard to keep your cool
A                  A / G# / F#
What's the matter              with today?
       D
You're always planning something
         E(VII)             D             A
And that something's always twenty years away


[Chorus]
E         F#            D            E
  Come on now, it's the first day of summer
             F#          D
Please don't let it slip by, just try
To squeeze all of the life out of it
A                  D
  This is a summer day
      A              D
But I thought that I heard you say
A                   E(VII)           A    D / E(VII)
  It's just another day, watch it go by
A                  D
  This is a summer day
      A              D
But I thought that I heard you say
A                   E(VII)           A
  It's just another day, watch it go by


[Verse]
    A(pm)              A(pm) / G#(pm) / F#(pm)
The summer's starting                          so why aren't you?
      D(pm)
We're getting older every day and
E(VII)(pm)        D(pm)            A(pm)   (Release palm mute as you go
I can't stay here getting old with you      into chorus.)
