[Verse 1]
C            Em             Am
She's been afraid of the Cuisinart
C               Em        Am
Since nine-teen seventy-seven
C             Em           Am
Now when she opens up the house
                E7                F
Well she won't set foot in the kitchen
C            Em          Am
Her brother's dating an architect
C             Em          Am
They're coming up for the weekend
C         Em         Am
He never gave her the proper respect
    E7                           F
But she still meets the ferry to greet them
 
[Chorus]
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 (repeat intro riff over chorus) F  G
Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind
 
[Verse 2]
C       Em           Am
She ran away back in seventy eight
C            Em            Am
Just down the beach to the neighbor's
C              Em           Am
They brought her back after sunset
            E7                 F
Her Dad said "Don't do me any favors"
C        Em        Am
Her Mom sat on the patio
C            Em         Am
She said she needed the sea air
C           Em        Am
She drank a fifth of Seagram's
               E7                F
And then she'd sink down into her deck chair
 
[Chorus 2]
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 (repeat intro riff over chorus) F  G
Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind
 
[Bridge]
Am           G/B
At fifteen, shop-lifting
C             Fmaj7
Was the only game she liked to play
Am        G/B
At forty, she's so bored she
C               Fmaj7
Thinks about it then decides to pay
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          Em         Am
She took a handful of mushrooms
C        Em         Am
That she got from a surfer
C           Em         Am
She spent a night in a hospital room
E7                    F
So the doctors could observe her
 
[Chorus 3]
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
 
[Outro]
