Reelin' in the Years

Steely Dan

D             A/C#            Bm7                 A
Your ever lastin' summer, you can see it fadin' fast,
D                     A/C#            Bm7                 A
So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last.
         A7/E               Ebdim          Dm                 A
Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand;
D                   A/C#            Bm7            A
The things you think are precious I can't understand.

R: Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
                            Gmaj9                         A
   Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
                         Gmaj9                    A
   Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
                            Gmaj9                         F#m7
   Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine

You been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen;
In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean.
The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned;
The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand.

R:

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.

R:
