		Your ever lastin' summer, you can see it fadin' fast,
	                                                          
		So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last.
      /                                    /           
	Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand;
	                                                   
		The things you think are precious I can't understand.

This is what I dug out from Nevada. The first two lines are fine...

But C#/E   ,  C/Eb    etc for the third and fourth lines  ?????

If you try these chords, they sound pretty weird. C# with an E bass ?

If you try E with a C# bass it's almost right though I prefer these chorts :

                                                     
you wouldn't even know  a diamond  if  you held  it  in your  hand

Probably it was a slip up when it was typed in, cos' everything except this
line is Ok.

Chord shapes :

	  |	Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine

		You been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen;

		The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned;
	                                                
		The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand.

		CHORUS


	                                                
		I've spent a lit of money and I spent a lot of time;
	                                                 
		The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind.
	      /                                   /          
		After all the things we've done and seen you find another man;
	                                               
		The things you think are useless I can't understand.
