Dm C A# Squeaky swings and tall grass Dm C A# The longest shadows ever cast Dm C A# The water's warm and children swim Dm C A# And we frolicked about in our summer skin I don't recall a single care Just greenery and humid air Then Labor Day came and went And we shed what was left of our summer skin On the night you left, I came over And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders Our brand new coats were so flushed and pink And I knew your heart, I couldn't win 'Cause the season's change was a conduit And we'd left our love in our summer skin You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  Dm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
