Intro
Em
G
It's summertime and I'm getting sad
B7
Summertime sadness drives me mad
Cmaj7
F# mellow feelin', staring at ceilings
Hotel rooms hot with these fruitless feelings
[Verse 1]
G
Summertime and I'm getting sad
B7
Oh, summertime sadness drives me mad
Cmaj7
F# case is packed, aches the fucking back
Sacks full of reasons we ain't ever coming back
G
Rest in peace
[Chorus]
G B7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
C G
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
B7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
C
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Post-Chorus]
G B7
Keep your chin up, mate
C
See the days are getting longer, you're awaiting your fate
G B7 C
Sink your soul in the past, remember when you passed out and you slept in his bath
G B7
Or when you had your first kiss
C
With the stranger from the strange fairytale village
G B7
You were crazy as fuck
C
If crazy as fuck is relative to being in love
[Chorus]
G B7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
C G
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
B7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
C
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Verse 2]
G
I just fell off my skateboard
B7
And now my face sore
C
I mean I'm glad I'm alone, don't say my mates saw
G B7
I'm posted up in the parking lot
You're larking off
C
Part of every memory's hard to watch
And I'll laugh it off
G B7
And maybe I should get my head right
'Fore I spend nights
C
Reeling every single thought onto my bedside
G
And lose your excitement
About the shit that I'm making
B7
It's my fault that it's breaking
C
Headlights in my left mind; saying everything it will get fine, and
G B7
Rest in peace to summer regrets
C
Every morning you'll be haunting all of last nights texts
G B7
I talk a lot about my mental defence
C
I wish that I would fucking use it, cause my head's quite messed
G B7
And you're the reason that I try to pretend
C
That I could wife up a friend
And make a life out of spendin'
G B7
And every night beside my pillows writing poems again
C
You proved that life could lighten again
[Hook]
C D

[Interlude]
C D Em F# G x4
[Verse 3]
C
Take me back to better days
D
The smell of rum and smoky haze
Em
I gaze, I daze, it's not a phase
F# G
I see potential in your ways
C
See the brightness in your smile
D
Pupils growing for some while
Em
Please don't leave when this is done
F# G C
My feelings feeling too fragile
D
Stay awhile, take a seat on my bed
Em F# G C
We can talk about the books that you read, instead
D
I'm nervous as fuck, you see my face is red
Em F# G C
Wanna be the man you always spoke of in past tense
D
Make some sense of all the thoughts in my head (hah!)
Em F# G
(Oh wait, start again, start again - no no no)
[Bridge]
C D
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Em F# G
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
C D Em
Nah, is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
F# G
Tell me! (Tell him!)
C D Em F# G
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
C D
Get the fuck out my head
Em F# G
Now is the summer fully over or is, is it dead?
G B7 C
(freestyled at 4am last night - that'd've been sick)
[Outro]
G
Summer sadness course my veins
B7
Make me feel I'm young again
Cmaj7
Take every bad emotion 'way
And make me feel half less insane
G
Farewell
B7
See you next year; try to keep you near
Cmaj7
Love so dear
G
Rest in peace
