Intro
Gm
A#
It's summertime and I'm getting sad
D7
Summertime sadness drives me mad
Ebmaj7
A mellow feelin', staring at ceilings
Hotel rooms hot with these fruitless feelings
[Verse 1]
A#
Summertime and I'm getting sad
D7
Oh, summertime sadness drives me mad
Ebmaj7
A case is packed, aches the fucking back
Sacks full of reasons we ain't ever coming back
A#
Rest in peace
[Chorus]
A# D7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Eb A#
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
D7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
Eb
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Post-Chorus]
A# D7
Keep your chin up, mate
Eb
See the days are getting longer, you're awaiting your fate
A# D7 Eb
Sink your soul in the past, remember when you passed out and you slept in his bath
A# D7
Or when you had your first kiss
Eb
With the stranger from the strange fairytale village
A# D7
You were crazy as fuck
Eb
If crazy as fuck is relative to being in love
[Chorus]
A# D7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Eb A#
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
D7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
Eb
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Verse 2]
A#
I just fell off my skateboard
D7
And now my face sore
Eb
I mean I'm glad I'm alone, don't say my mates saw
A# D7
I'm posted up in the parking lot
You're larking off
Eb
Part of every memory's hard to watch
And I'll laugh it off
A# D7
And maybe I should get my head right
'Fore I spend nights
Eb
Reeling every single thought onto my bedside
A#
And lose your excitement
About the shit that I'm making
D7
It's my fault that it's breaking
Eb
Headlights in my left mind; saying everything it will get fine, and
A# D7
Rest in peace to summer regrets
Eb
Every morning you'll be haunting all of last nights texts
A# D7
I talk a lot about my mental defence
Eb
I wish that I would fucking use it, cause my head's quite messed
A# D7
And you're the reason that I try to pretend
Eb
That I could wife up a friend
And make a life out of spendin'
A# D7
And every night beside my pillows writing poems again
Eb
You proved that life could lighten again
[Hook]
Eb F
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Gm A A#

[Interlude]
Eb F Gm A A# x4
[Verse 3]
Eb
Take me back to better days
F
The smell of rum and smoky haze
Gm
I gaze, I daze, it's not a phase
A A#
I see potential in your ways
Eb
See the brightness in your smile
F
Pupils growing for some while
Gm
Please don't leave when this is done
A A# Eb
My feelings feeling too fragile
F
Stay awhile, take a seat on my bed
Gm A A# Eb
We can talk about the books that you read, instead
F
I'm nervous as fuck, you see my face is red
Gm A A# Eb
Wanna be the man you always spoke of in past tense
F
Make some sense of all the thoughts in my head (hah!)
Gm A A#
(Oh wait, start again, start again - no no no)
[Bridge]
Eb F
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Gm A A#
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Eb F Gm
Nah, is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
A A#
Tell me! (Tell him!)
Eb F Gm A A#
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Eb F
Get the fuck out my head
Gm A A#
Now is the summer fully over or is, is it dead?
A# D7 Eb
(freestyled at 4am last night - that'd've been sick)
[Outro]
A#
Summer sadness course my veins
D7
Make me feel I'm young again
Ebmaj7
Take every bad emotion 'way
And make me feel half less insane
A#
Farewell
D7
See you next year; try to keep you near
Ebmaj7
Love so dear
A#
Rest in peace
