>A F#m

>In the lamp light on Locust Street, with the party far behind

>D A

>No sound but the beat of her heart and mine

> A F#m

>The smell of her hair was my first breath, and her lips were my first

>kiss

>D A

>And my first step was a headlong dive

>

> E A D

>I couldn't keep myself from falling, so she taught me to fly

> A E D

>And I was born in the summer of '75

>

>A F#m

>In the morning light she wore my coat, and all I wanted to know

>D A

>Was she trembling from the feeling or the cold

>A F#m

>As the sleepy small town came to life, I saw the answer in her eyes

>D A

>And knew I'd always have her hand to hold

>

> E A D

>Now somethings don't need saying, you just feel 'em deep inside

> A E D

>The way I felt in the summer of '75

>

> E D A

>Now all that seems like yesterday, how the time slips away

> F#m A

>The blinding speed will leave you feeling cold

> E D A

>So when I feel the hands of time tugging at this life of mine

> F#m D E

>I reach for the warmest thing to hold

>

>A F#m D A

>

>A F#m

>A light still shines on Locust Street, somewhere back in time

> D A

>And I wake up to the beat of her heart and mine

> A F#m

>And I reach out and touch her hair, just to know that she's still there

>D A

>And the dream I had is still by my side

>

> E A D

>I might not make church on Sunday, but I thank the Lord each night

> A E D

>That I was born in the summer of '75

> A E D

>Yeah, I was born in the summer of '75
