Verse 1:
C E7 Am
She's been afraid of the Cuisinart
C E7 Am
Since nine-teen seventy-seven
C E7 Am
Now when she opens up the house
E7 F
Well she won't set foot in the kitchen
C E7 Am
Her brother's dating an architect
C E7 Am
They're coming up for the weekend
C E7 Am
He never gave her the proper respect
E7 F
But she still meets the ferry to greet them
Chorus:
F C E7
Oh, at the summer place, we got the space
Am G
if you've got the time
F C G
At the summer place, its so far away

Verse 2:
C E7 Am
She ran away back in seventy eight
C E7 Am
Just down the beach to the neighbor's
C E7 Am
They brought her back after sunset
E7 F
Her Dad said "Don't do me any favors"
C E7 Am
Her Mom sat on the patio
C E7 Am
She said she needed the sea air
C E7 Am
She drank a fifth of Seagram's
E7 F
And then she'd sink down into her deck chair
Chorus 2:
F C E7
Oh, at the summer place, we got the space
Am G
if you've got the time
F C G
At the summer place, its so far away

Miiind, Miiind, Miiind, Miiind
Bridge:
Am E7
At fifteen, shop-lifting
C F
Was the only game she liked to play
Am E7
At forty, she's so bored she
C F
Thinks about it then decides to play
Am G
But still she can't help feeling
D/F# G
Those good old days don't seem so far away
E7
(seem so far away) Just like yesterday
Verse 3:
C E7 Am
She took a handful of mushrooms
C E7 Am
That she got from a surfer
C E7 Am
She spent a night in a hospital room
E7 F
So the doctors could observe her
Chorus 3:
F C E7 Am G
Oh, at the summer place, We've got the space, you should drop on by
F C
Oh, at the summer place
G E7
the injuries fade but the memories last a life
Am F
Tiiiime

A lifetiiiime
Am F
A lifetiiiime
C E7
A lifetiiiime
