Intro
G#m
Cb
It's summertime and I'm getting sad
D#7
Summertime sadness drives me mad
Fbmaj7
A# mellow feelin', staring at ceilings
Hotel rooms hot with these fruitless feelings
[Verse 1]
Cb
Summertime and I'm getting sad
D#7
Oh, summertime sadness drives me mad
Fbmaj7
A# case is packed, aches the fucking back
Sacks full of reasons we ain't ever coming back
Cb
Rest in peace
[Chorus]
Cb D#7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Fb Cb
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
D#7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
Fb
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Post-Chorus]
Cb D#7
Keep your chin up, mate
Fb
See the days are getting longer, you're awaiting your fate
Cb D#7 Fb
Sink your soul in the past, remember when you passed out and you slept in his bath
Cb D#7
Or when you had your first kiss
Fb
With the stranger from the strange fairytale village
Cb D#7
You were crazy as fuck
Fb
If crazy as fuck is relative to being in love
[Chorus]
Cb D#7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Fb Cb
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
D#7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
Fb
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Verse 2]
Cb
I just fell off my skateboard
D#7
And now my face sore
Fb
I mean I'm glad I'm alone, don't say my mates saw
Cb D#7
I'm posted up in the parking lot
You're larking off
Fb
Part of every memory's hard to watch
And I'll laugh it off
Cb D#7
And maybe I should get my head right
'Fore I spend nights
Fb
Reeling every single thought onto my bedside
Cb
And lose your excitement
About the shit that I'm making
D#7
It's my fault that it's breaking
Fb
Headlights in my left mind; saying everything it will get fine, and
Cb D#7
Rest in peace to summer regrets
Fb
Every morning you'll be haunting all of last nights texts
Cb D#7
I talk a lot about my mental defence
Fb
I wish that I would fucking use it, cause my head's quite messed
Cb D#7
And you're the reason that I try to pretend
Fb
That I could wife up a friend
And make a life out of spendin'
Cb D#7
And every night beside my pillows writing poems again
Fb
You proved that life could lighten again
[Hook]

[Interlude]
Fb F# G#m A# Cb x4
[Verse 3]
Fb
Take me back to better days
F#
The smell of rum and smoky haze
G#m
I gaze, I daze, it's not a phase
A# Cb
I see potential in your ways
Fb
See the brightness in your smile
F#
Pupils growing for some while
G#m
Please don't leave when this is done
A# Cb Fb
My feelings feeling too fragile
F#
Stay awhile, take a seat on my bed
G#m A# Cb Fb
We can talk about the books that you read, instead
F#
I'm nervous as fuck, you see my face is red
G#m A# Cb Fb
Wanna be the man you always spoke of in past tense
F#
Make some sense of all the thoughts in my head (hah!)
G#m A# Cb
(Oh wait, start again, start again - no no no)
[Bridge]
Fb F#
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
G#m A# Cb
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Fb F# G#m
Nah, is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
A# Cb
Tell me! (Tell him!)
Fb F# G#m A# Cb
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Fb F#
Get the fuck out my head
G#m A# Cb
Now is the summer fully over or is, is it dead?
Cb D#7 Fb
(freestyled at 4am last night - that'd've been sick)
[Outro]
Cb
Summer sadness course my veins
D#7
Make me feel I'm young again
Fbmaj7
Take every bad emotion 'way
And make me feel half less insane
Cb
Farewell
D#7
See you next year; try to keep you near
Fbmaj7
Love so dear
Cb
Rest in peace
