[Intro]
C#m     F#m    B


[Verse 1]
  E                               C#m
Donnie's got a secret and you know it
       G#m               F#m
He was yours, in the summertime, yeah
          E       B
About ten years ago
 E                            C#m
He promised you to stay forever
          G#m
Live with you
          F#m
It's so bittersweet now
         E               B
When you know what you lost


[Chorus]

E                                   C#m
Donnie was the boy you always wanted by your side
F#m                                         B
Donnie was the boy your girlfriends fell for one by one
E                                    C#m
Donnie was the boy you always wanted day and night
F#m                                      B
But Donnie had a girlfriend: tender, sexy, sweet and blonde


Post chorus:

C#m                B    E
In the summer time, yeah
           C#m
In the summer time, yeah
B              E
Life was easy
C#m                B        E   G#
On the beach you had him long ago



[Verse 2]

E
He's always on your mind
                 C#m
The season changes
              G#m
Years went by
                 F#m             E        C#m   B
But that chapter of love stays unfinished for you
E
Keep on dancing through your new life
       C#m    G#m
Maybe, make a move
         F#m
Make him see you again,
       E             B
As the flower you are


[Chorus]

E                                    C#m
Donnie was the boy you always wanted by your side
F#m                                          B
Donnie was the boy your girlfriends fell for one by one
E                                    C#m
Donnie was the boy you always wanted day and night
F#m                                        B
But Donnie had a girlfriend: tender, sexy, sweet and blonde

Post chorus:

C#m                 B    E
In the summer time, yeah
           C#m
In the summer time, yeah
B              E
Life was easy
C#m                B        E   G#
On the beach you had him long ago


[Chorus]
