E
I spent too much money
D                  E
Looked far too glad
E                    D                 E
Now I have so little of what I once had
E                      D                  E
I had too many parties I had too much time
E                 D               E
I got so lazy and fell well behind

[Chorus]
A                 D          G
Now the summer is over I can count the cost
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
G
Footprints in the frost
A             D          G
The summer is over I can count the cost
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
G                     E
Footprints in the frost

[Verse]
E                     D                  E
We did so much damage deep in our insides
E                 D                   E
The party's over, it's going home time
E                       D               E
The cathedral is empty, no one's at home
E                     D                 E
Winter's approaching; paradise postponed

[Chorus]

A                 D          G
Now the summer is over I can count the cost
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
G
Footprints in the frost
A             D          G
The summer is over I can count the cost
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
G                     E
Footprints in the frost

[Verse]
E                          D                E
I rang lots of numbers and walked many miles
E                               D             E
I watched the Flintstones and I turned my dial
E                                D            E
To a brand new station where the beat comes in
E                  D                E
Now it's all over, the winter begins

[Chorus]
A                 D          G
Now the summer is over I can count the cost
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
G
Footprints in the frost
A             D          G
The summer is over I can count the cost
A                 D
Footprints on the beaches are now
G                     
Footprints in the frost
