[Verse 1]
  D                A/C#          Bm             A
Your everlasting summer you can see it fading fast
    D                    A/C#              Bm              A
So you grab a piece of something that you think is gonna last
       G                   D/F#          F6               A/E
Well, you wouldn't know a diamond if you held it in your hand
       D                   A/C#     Bm              A
The things you think are precious, I can't understand


[Chorus]
                         G
Are you reelin' in the years?
                  A
Stowin' away the time?
                          G
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
                        A
Have you had enough of mine?
                          G
Are you reelin' in the years?
                   A
Stowin' away the time?
                          G
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
                        F#m
Have you had enough of mine?


[Verse 2]
           D                   A/C#        Bm            A
You been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen
    D                   A/C#              Bm                 A
In all the years I've known you, I still don't know what you mean
     G               D/F#           F6                 A/E
The weekend in the college didn't turn out like you planned
     D                     A/C#     Bm               A
The things that pass for knowledge, I can't understand


[Chorus]
                          G
Are you reelin' in the years?
                   A
Stowin' away the time?
                            G
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
                         A
Have you had enough of mine?
                          G
Are you reelin' in the years?
                   A
Stowin' away the time?
                            G
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
                          F#m
Have you had enough of mine?

[Verse 3]
    D             A/C#         Bm            A
I spend a lot of money and I spent a lot of time
     D               A/C#          Bm            A
The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind
      G                     D/F#               F6           A/E
After all the things we've done and seen, you find another man
     D                   A/C#     Bm             A
The things you think are useless, I can't understand


[Chorus]
                           G
Are you reelin' in the years?
                   A
Stowin' away the time?
                            G
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
                        A
Have you had enough of mine?
                         G
Are you reelin' in the years?
                    A
Stowin' away the time?
                            G
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
                         F#m
Have you had enough of mine?
