Intro
Am
C
It's summertime and I'm getting sad
E7
Summertime sadness drives me mad
Fmaj7
B mellow feelin', staring at ceilings
Hotel rooms hot with these fruitless feelings
[Verse 1]
C
Summertime and I'm getting sad
E7
Oh, summertime sadness drives me mad
Fmaj7
B case is packed, aches the fucking back
Sacks full of reasons we ain't ever coming back
C
Rest in peace
[Chorus]
C E7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
F C
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
E7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
F
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Post-Chorus]
C E7
Keep your chin up, mate
F
See the days are getting longer, you're awaiting your fate
C E7 F
Sink your soul in the past, remember when you passed out and you slept in his bath
C E7
Or when you had your first kiss
F
With the stranger from the strange fairytale village
C E7
You were crazy as fuck
F
If crazy as fuck is relative to being in love
[Chorus]
C E7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
F C
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
E7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
F
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Verse 2]
C
I just fell off my skateboard
E7
And now my face sore
F
I mean I'm glad I'm alone, don't say my mates saw
C E7
I'm posted up in the parking lot
You're larking off
F
Part of every memory's hard to watch
And I'll laugh it off
C E7
And maybe I should get my head right
'Fore I spend nights
F
Reeling every single thought onto my bedside
C
And lose your excitement
About the shit that I'm making
E7
It's my fault that it's breaking
F
Headlights in my left mind; saying everything it will get fine, and
C E7
Rest in peace to summer regrets
F
Every morning you'll be haunting all of last nights texts
C E7
I talk a lot about my mental defence
F
I wish that I would fucking use it, cause my head's quite messed
C E7
And you're the reason that I try to pretend
F
That I could wife up a friend
And make a life out of spendin'
C E7
And every night beside my pillows writing poems again
F
You proved that life could lighten again
[Hook]

[Interlude]
F G Am B C x4
[Verse 3]
F
Take me back to better days
G
The smell of rum and smoky haze
Am
I gaze, I daze, it's not a phase
B C
I see potential in your ways
F
See the brightness in your smile
G
Pupils growing for some while
Am
Please don't leave when this is done
B C F
My feelings feeling too fragile
G
Stay awhile, take a seat on my bed
Am B C F
We can talk about the books that you read, instead
G
I'm nervous as fuck, you see my face is red
Am B C F
Wanna be the man you always spoke of in past tense
G
Make some sense of all the thoughts in my head (hah!)
Am B C
(Oh wait, start again, start again - no no no)
[Bridge]
F G
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Am B C
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
F G Am
Nah, is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
B C
Tell me! (Tell him!)
F G Am B C
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
F G
Get the fuck out my head
Am B C
Now is the summer fully over or is, is it dead?
C E7 F
(freestyled at 4am last night - that'd've been sick)
[Outro]
C
Summer sadness course my veins
E7
Make me feel I'm young again
Fmaj7
Take every bad emotion 'way
And make me feel half less insane
C
Farewell
E7
See you next year; try to keep you near
Fmaj7
Love so dear
C
Rest in peace
