Intro: G Am B5-Am (x4)

G                         Am   B5-Am
the summer crawled by indetectably
and then i saw you looking down to me
and your earrings sparkled in the noon-day sun
G                              Am          B5 (or B)
and though it's very true that i love everyone
Em
with every ounce of energy left in me
Am           C                  (he's played this line live as C D7, both sound fine)
i love you especially because

G         C D-C   
i saw you
G      C D-C
coming through
G          C D-C
the screen door
      G       D7
on the second floor
          Intro (x4)
up on the balcony

it was hard to even see you at all
because the air was thick with alcohol
so i kept on rubbing my eyes
for all the good it did me, for all the measurable good it did me
let the years come and take away my memory
i will not forget the shock that ran through me when

i saw you
coming through
the screen door on the second floor
up on the balcony

end on G
