E                      G#7
What happened to that simple smile?
C#m7                  F#7
The laughing boy, the dancing child
A                            E
He walked the world and felt every mile
A                     B      B7
Now he aches when he wakes up
E               G#7
What became of happiness?
C#m                    F#7
Locked away in some forgotten chest
A                  E
Next to grandma's wedding dress
A                   B    B7
Her pearls and her makeup

Chorus:
C#m         G#m
And oh, my love
A              E  B/D#
Where did you go?
C#m7              G#m
Did you burn out quick?
A             E      B/D#
Did you fade out slow?
C#m7          G#m
And oh, my friend
A              Am
Do you still remain
E           E/D#
In a photograph
        C#m7        B               A B7
When we danced and laughed and played
               E
In the summer rain?

What happened to the spark in your eye
The fire in your belly
And the sun in your sky?
They burnt away and left you feeling dry
Now you're thirsty for something more

Chorus:
Oh my love
Where did you go?
Did you burn out quick?
Did you fade out slow? Oh
And oh my friend
Do you still remain
In a photograph
When we danced and laughed and played
In the summer rain?
