Intro
Dm
F
It's summertime and I'm getting sad
A7
Summertime sadness drives me mad
A#maj7
E mellow feelin', staring at ceilings
Hotel rooms hot with these fruitless feelings
[Verse 1]
F
Summertime and I'm getting sad
A7
Oh, summertime sadness drives me mad
A#maj7
E case is packed, aches the fucking back
Sacks full of reasons we ain't ever coming back
F
Rest in peace
[Chorus]
F A7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
A# F
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
A7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
A#
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Post-Chorus]
F A7
Keep your chin up, mate
A#
See the days are getting longer, you're awaiting your fate
F A7 A#
Sink your soul in the past, remember when you passed out and you slept in his bath
F A7
Or when you had your first kiss
A#
With the stranger from the strange fairytale village
F A7
You were crazy as fuck
A#
If crazy as fuck is relative to being in love
[Chorus]
F A7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
A# F
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
A7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
A#
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Verse 2]
F
I just fell off my skateboard
A7
And now my face sore
A#
I mean I'm glad I'm alone, don't say my mates saw
F A7
I'm posted up in the parking lot
You're larking off
A#
Part of every memory's hard to watch
And I'll laugh it off
F A7
And maybe I should get my head right
'Fore I spend nights
A#
Reeling every single thought onto my bedside
F
And lose your excitement
About the shit that I'm making
A7
It's my fault that it's breaking
A#
Headlights in my left mind; saying everything it will get fine, and
F A7
Rest in peace to summer regrets
A#
Every morning you'll be haunting all of last nights texts
F A7
I talk a lot about my mental defence
A#
I wish that I would fucking use it, cause my head's quite messed
F A7
And you're the reason that I try to pretend
A#
That I could wife up a friend
And make a life out of spendin'
F A7
And every night beside my pillows writing poems again
A#
You proved that life could lighten again
[Hook]
A# C
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Dm E F
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
A# C
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Dm E F
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
A# C
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Dm E F
Rest in peace, the summer is dead

Rest in peace, the summer is dead

Rest in peace

Yeah
[Interlude]
A# C Dm E F x4
[Verse 3]
A#
Take me back to better days
C
The smell of rum and smoky haze
Dm
I gaze, I daze, it's not a phase
E F
I see potential in your ways
A#
See the brightness in your smile
C
Pupils growing for some while
Dm
Please don't leave when this is done
E F A#
My feelings feeling too fragile
C
Stay awhile, take a seat on my bed
Dm E F A#
We can talk about the books that you read, instead
C
I'm nervous as fuck, you see my face is red
Dm E F A#
Wanna be the man you always spoke of in past tense
C
Make some sense of all the thoughts in my head (hah!)
Dm E F
(Oh wait, start again, start again - no no no)
[Bridge]
A# C
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Dm E F
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
A# C Dm
Nah, is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
E F
Tell me! (Tell him!)
A# C Dm E F
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
A# C
Get the fuck out my head
Dm E F
Now is the summer fully over or is, is it dead?
F A7 A#
(freestyled at 4am last night - that'd've been sick)
[Outro]
F
Summer sadness course my veins
A7
Make me feel I'm young again
A#maj7
Take every bad emotion 'way
And make me feel half less insane
F
Farewell
A7
See you next year; try to keep you near
A#maj7
Love so dear
F
Rest in peace
