Intro
F#m
A
It's summertime and I'm getting sad
C#7
Summertime sadness drives me mad
Dmaj7
G# mellow feelin', staring at ceilings
Hotel rooms hot with these fruitless feelings
[Verse 1]
A
Summertime and I'm getting sad
C#7
Oh, summertime sadness drives me mad
Dmaj7
G# case is packed, aches the fucking back
Sacks full of reasons we ain't ever coming back
A
Rest in peace
[Chorus]
A C#7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
D A
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
C#7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
D
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Post-Chorus]
A C#7
Keep your chin up, mate
D
See the days are getting longer, you're awaiting your fate
A C#7 D
Sink your soul in the past, remember when you passed out and you slept in his bath
A C#7
Or when you had your first kiss
D
With the stranger from the strange fairytale village
A C#7
You were crazy as fuck
D
If crazy as fuck is relative to being in love
[Chorus]
A C#7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
D A
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
C#7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
D
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Verse 2]
A
I just fell off my skateboard
C#7
And now my face sore
D
I mean I'm glad I'm alone, don't say my mates saw
A C#7
I'm posted up in the parking lot
You're larking off
D
Part of every memory's hard to watch
And I'll laugh it off
A C#7
And maybe I should get my head right
'Fore I spend nights
D
Reeling every single thought onto my bedside
A
And lose your excitement
About the shit that I'm making
C#7
It's my fault that it's breaking
D
Headlights in my left mind; saying everything it will get fine, and
A C#7
Rest in peace to summer regrets
D
Every morning you'll be haunting all of last nights texts
A C#7
I talk a lot about my mental defence
D
I wish that I would fucking use it, cause my head's quite messed
A C#7
And you're the reason that I try to pretend
D
That I could wife up a friend
And make a life out of spendin'
A C#7
And every night beside my pillows writing poems again
D
You proved that life could lighten again
[Hook]
D E
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
F#m G# A
Rest in peace, the summer is dead

Rest in peace, the summer is dead
F#m G# A
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
D E
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
F#m G# A
Rest in peace, the summer is dead

Rest in peace, the summer is dead
F#m
Rest in peace

[Interlude]
D E F#m G# A x4
[Verse 3]
D
Take me back to better days
E
The smell of rum and smoky haze
F#m
I gaze, I daze, it's not a phase
G# A
I see potential in your ways
D
See the brightness in your smile
E
Pupils growing for some while
F#m
Please don't leave when this is done
G# A D
My feelings feeling too fragile
E
Stay awhile, take a seat on my bed
F#m G# A D
We can talk about the books that you read, instead
E
I'm nervous as fuck, you see my face is red
F#m G# A D
Wanna be the man you always spoke of in past tense
E
Make some sense of all the thoughts in my head (hah!)
F#m G# A
(Oh wait, start again, start again - no no no)
[Bridge]
D E
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
F#m G# A
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
D E F#m
Nah, is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
G# A
Tell me! (Tell him!)
D E F#m G# A
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
D E
Get the fuck out my head
F#m G# A
Now is the summer fully over or is, is it dead?
A C#7 D
(freestyled at 4am last night - that'd've been sick)
[Outro]
A
Summer sadness course my veins
C#7
Make me feel I'm young again
Dmaj7
Take every bad emotion 'way
And make me feel half less insane
A
Farewell
C#7
See you next year; try to keep you near
Dmaj7
Love so dear
A
Rest in peace
