C 
It's the Duquoin, Illinois county fair 
                                      F           C 
I could still see you standing there   like a dream 

Flatbed stage on a little dirt track 

She was second row, her hair pulled back 
         F           C 
We were   young and free 
G           F 
everytime this part happens 
Oh, she could've been mine 
    F               C 
But we ran out of summertiiiiiime 

        C 
Spent a few weeks out on a lake shore beach 
                                         F                 C 
Carved our names high as we could reach   on an old wooden pier 

We made plans we planned to keep 
                                  F         C 
300 miles from her to me and her   senior year 
G 
Oh, she could've been mine 
    F  
But we ran out of summertime 

       C        
And of all the things I let get away 
                                      F     C 
She's the one that keeps me awake at night 

And I've never seen days go by so fast 

A little more sand falling through the glass 
        F                           C 
She was hot as July and sweet as sunshine 
G 
Oh, she could've been mine 
    F                        C 
But we ran out of summertiiiiiime 

       C 
If the days had only stayed that long 
                                             F 
And those autumn leaves didn't have to fall 
                      C 
Oh, we'd have fell in love 

'Cause what we felt on that Ferris wheel 
                                       F 
Was just too right and just too real 
                    C 
But just not long enough 

G 
Oh, she could've been mine 
    F       
But we ran out of summertime 

       C 
And of all the things I let get away 
                                     F       C 
She's the one that keeps me awake at night 

And I've never seen days go by so fast 

A little more sand falling through the glass 
        F                        C 
She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine 
G 
Oh, she could've been mine 
    F                       C 
But we ran out of summertiiiiime 


       C     
And of all the things I let get away 
                                     F      C 
She's the one that keeps me awake at night 

And I've never seen days go by so fast 

A little more sand falling through the glass 
      F                    C 
               sweet as sunshine 

       C   
And of all the things I let get away 
                                     F      C 
She's the one that keeps me awake at night 

And I've never seen days go by so fast 

A little more sand falling through the glass 
        F                        C 
She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine 
G 
Oh, she could've been mine 
    F 
But we ran out of summertime
