Intro
Fm
Ab
It's summertime and I'm getting sad
C7
Summertime sadness drives me mad
Dbmaj7
G mellow feelin', staring at ceilings
Hotel rooms hot with these fruitless feelings
[Verse 1]
Ab
Summertime and I'm getting sad
C7
Oh, summertime sadness drives me mad
Dbmaj7
G case is packed, aches the fucking back
Sacks full of reasons we ain't ever coming back
Ab
Rest in peace
[Chorus]
Ab C7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Db Ab
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
C7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
Db
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Post-Chorus]
Ab C7
Keep your chin up, mate
Db
See the days are getting longer, you're awaiting your fate
Ab C7 Db
Sink your soul in the past, remember when you passed out and you slept in his bath
Ab C7
Or when you had your first kiss
Db
With the stranger from the strange fairytale village
Ab C7
You were crazy as fuck
Db
If crazy as fuck is relative to being in love
[Chorus]
Ab C7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Db Ab
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
C7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
Db
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Verse 2]
Ab
I just fell off my skateboard
C7
And now my face sore
Db
I mean I'm glad I'm alone, don't say my mates saw
Ab C7
I'm posted up in the parking lot
You're larking off
Db
Part of every memory's hard to watch
And I'll laugh it off
Ab C7
And maybe I should get my head right
'Fore I spend nights
Db
Reeling every single thought onto my bedside
Ab
And lose your excitement
About the shit that I'm making
C7
It's my fault that it's breaking
Db
Headlights in my left mind; saying everything it will get fine, and
Ab C7
Rest in peace to summer regrets
Db
Every morning you'll be haunting all of last nights texts
Ab C7
I talk a lot about my mental defence
Db
I wish that I would fucking use it, cause my head's quite messed
Ab C7
And you're the reason that I try to pretend
Db
That I could wife up a friend
And make a life out of spendin'
Ab C7
And every night beside my pillows writing poems again
Db
You proved that life could lighten again
[Hook]

Db D# Fm G Ab x4
[Verse 3]
Db
Take me back to better days
D#
The smell of rum and smoky haze
Fm
I gaze, I daze, it's not a phase
G Ab
I see potential in your ways
Db
See the brightness in your smile
D#
Pupils growing for some while
Fm
Please don't leave when this is done
G Ab Db
My feelings feeling too fragile
D#
Stay awhile, take a seat on my bed
Fm G Ab Db
We can talk about the books that you read, instead
D#
I'm nervous as fuck, you see my face is red
Fm G Ab Db
Wanna be the man you always spoke of in past tense

Make some sense of all the thoughts in my head (hah!)

Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Fm G Ab
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?

Nah, is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
G Ab
Tell me! (Tell him!)
Db D# Fm G Ab
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?

Get the fuck out my head
Fm G Ab
Now is the summer fully over or is, is it dead?
Ab C7 Db
(freestyled at 4am last night - that'd've been sick)
[Outro]

Summer sadness course my veins

Make me feel I'm young again
Dbmaj7
Take every bad emotion 'way
And make me feel half less insane
Ab
Farewell

See you next year; try to keep you near
Dbmaj7
Love so dear
Ab
