Ok, so there are a lot of tabs for this song that come close, but not quite. They have
right chords, just not the right positions. I figured it out a while ago and then saw
in concert last week. After watching Chris play this song, I can tell you this is 100% accurate.
Capo: 2nd fret (Notes relative)
Tuning: Standard

INTRO: C
VERSE 1:
She smiled in aG/B big way
The way a girl like that D/F#smiles
When the world is Chers. And she held your eyes
Out in the breG/Bezeway, down by the D/F#shore
In the lazy sumCmer
And she pulled you G/Bin
And she bit your D/F#lip
And she made you heCrs
She looked G/Bdeep into you as you lay together
D/F#Quiet in the grasp of dusk andC summer
CHORUS:
But you've Galready lD/F#ost
G/B* C2
But you've already lost
But you've Galready lD/F#ost
G/B* C G/B D/F# C
When you only had barely enough to hang on
VERSE 2:
And she combed your G/Bhair
And she kissed your D/F#teeth
And she made you bCetter than you'd been before
And she told you bG/Bad things
that you wished you could cD/F#hange
In the lazy suCmmer
And she told you laG/Bughing
down to her cD/F#ore
So she would not Ccry and she lay in your lap
as she said G/B"Nobody here can live forever
D/F#Quiet in the grasp of dusk anCd summer."
[CHORUS]

...while you sing this:
She said "No one is alone the way you are alone."
And you held her looser than you would've if you ever could've known
Some things tie your life together
With slender threads of things to treasure
Days like that should last and last and last

G/B* C2
But you've already lost
But you've Galready lD/F#ost
G/B* C G/B D/F#
When you only had barely enough of her to hang on
Hang oCn
Hang G/Bon D/F#
Hang Con
