Intro
D#m
Gb
It's summertime and I'm getting sad
A#7
Summertime sadness drives me mad
Cbmaj7
F mellow feelin', staring at ceilings
Hotel rooms hot with these fruitless feelings
[Verse 1]
Gb
Summertime and I'm getting sad
A#7
Oh, summertime sadness drives me mad
Cbmaj7
F case is packed, aches the fucking back
Sacks full of reasons we ain't ever coming back
Gb
Rest in peace
[Chorus]
Gb A#7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Cb Gb
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
A#7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
Cb
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Post-Chorus]
Gb A#7
Keep your chin up, mate
Cb
See the days are getting longer, you're awaiting your fate
Gb A#7 Cb
Sink your soul in the past, remember when you passed out and you slept in his bath
Gb A#7
Or when you had your first kiss
Cb
With the stranger from the strange fairytale village
Gb A#7
You were crazy as fuck
Cb
If crazy as fuck is relative to being in love
[Chorus]
Gb A#7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Cb Gb
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
A#7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
Cb
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Verse 2]
Gb
I just fell off my skateboard
A#7
And now my face sore
Cb
I mean I'm glad I'm alone, don't say my mates saw
Gb A#7
I'm posted up in the parking lot
You're larking off
Cb
Part of every memory's hard to watch
And I'll laugh it off
Gb A#7
And maybe I should get my head right
'Fore I spend nights
Cb
Reeling every single thought onto my bedside
Gb
And lose your excitement
About the shit that I'm making
A#7
It's my fault that it's breaking
Cb
Headlights in my left mind; saying everything it will get fine, and
Gb A#7
Rest in peace to summer regrets
Cb
Every morning you'll be haunting all of last nights texts
Gb A#7
I talk a lot about my mental defence
Cb
I wish that I would fucking use it, cause my head's quite messed
Gb A#7
And you're the reason that I try to pretend
Cb
That I could wife up a friend
And make a life out of spendin'
Gb A#7
And every night beside my pillows writing poems again
Cb
You proved that life could lighten again
[Hook]

[Interlude]
Cb C# D#m F Gb x4
[Verse 3]
Cb
Take me back to better days
C#
The smell of rum and smoky haze
D#m
I gaze, I daze, it's not a phase
F Gb
I see potential in your ways
Cb
See the brightness in your smile
C#
Pupils growing for some while
D#m
Please don't leave when this is done
F Gb Cb
My feelings feeling too fragile
C#
Stay awhile, take a seat on my bed
D#m F Gb Cb
We can talk about the books that you read, instead
C#
I'm nervous as fuck, you see my face is red
D#m F Gb Cb
Wanna be the man you always spoke of in past tense
C#
Make some sense of all the thoughts in my head (hah!)
D#m F Gb
(Oh wait, start again, start again - no no no)
[Bridge]
Cb C#
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
D#m F Gb
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Cb C# D#m
Nah, is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
F Gb
Tell me! (Tell him!)
Cb C# D#m F Gb
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Cb C#
Get the fuck out my head
D#m F Gb
Now is the summer fully over or is, is it dead?
Gb A#7 Cb
(freestyled at 4am last night - that'd've been sick)
[Outro]
Gb
Summer sadness course my veins
A#7
Make me feel I'm young again
Cbmaj7
Take every bad emotion 'way
And make me feel half less insane
Gb
Farewell
A#7
See you next year; try to keep you near
Cbmaj7
Love so dear
Gb
Rest in peace
