[Intro]
A Bm A Em Gbm G x2
[Verse 1]
A Bm A
Wait till the heat sets in
Em Gbm G A
and the days grow long and thin
Em Gbm G A
it sets the traffic lights to swaying
Bm
in the wind
[Verse 2]
A Bm A
Run till your legs are sore
Em Gbm G A
turn the lights on, lock the doors
Em Gbm G A
they’ll wait the whole night long to shake you
Bm
to your core
[Chorus]
G A Bm Dbm
See how it burns and how it bends
D A Em
the way it descends through the trees
A
outside your room
G D
how the dog days trouble you
A
and the cool sigh
G
of the low tide
Em G A
how it only leaves you blue
A Bm A Em Gbm G
Ah-ah ah-ah-ah oohhh
[Verse 3]
A Bm A
Out in the pines and firs
Em Gbm G A
there were spies and saboteurs
Em Gbm G A
you spent a night this side of breaking
Bm
taking turns
[Verse 4]
A Bm A
You’ve got time to kill
Em Gbm G A
you’ve got moves and summer skills
Em Gbm G A
and even so, they sought to bend you
Bm
to their will
[Chorus]
G A Bm Dbm
Still can’t relax and place your words
D A Em
just pray that this curse too will pass
A
dead afternoons
G D
how the dog days trouble you
A
and the cruel bite
G
of the sunlight
Em G A
how it bends and how it burns
G D
and the nightmares reassure
A
in a clean bed
G
in a cold sweat
Em
you’re forgetting all you learned here with your worst fears all confirmed here
