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 

 
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 
E7                       
It's another state of... 
Am   F   C    E7  Am    F  C    E7  
Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind 

(repeat intro riff over chorus) F G 


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 

 
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 
E7                       
It's another state of... 
Am   F   C    E7  Am    F  C    E7  
Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind 
 

(repeat intro riff over chorus) F G

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 

 
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 
   C      E7 
A lifetiiiime 
  Am     F 
A lifetiiiime 
 C      E7 
A lifetiiiime
