Intro
C#m
Fb
It's summertime and I'm getting sad
G#7
Summertime sadness drives me mad
Amaj7
D# mellow feelin', staring at ceilings
Hotel rooms hot with these fruitless feelings
[Verse 1]
Fb
Summertime and I'm getting sad
G#7
Oh, summertime sadness drives me mad
Amaj7
D# case is packed, aches the fucking back
Sacks full of reasons we ain't ever coming back
Fb
Rest in peace
[Chorus]
Fb G#7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
A Fb
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
G#7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
A
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Post-Chorus]
Fb G#7
Keep your chin up, mate
A
See the days are getting longer, you're awaiting your fate
Fb G#7 A
Sink your soul in the past, remember when you passed out and you slept in his bath
Fb G#7
Or when you had your first kiss
A
With the stranger from the strange fairytale village
Fb G#7
You were crazy as fuck
A
If crazy as fuck is relative to being in love
[Chorus]
Fb G#7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
A Fb
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
G#7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
A
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Verse 2]
Fb
I just fell off my skateboard
G#7
And now my face sore
A
I mean I'm glad I'm alone, don't say my mates saw
Fb G#7
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
Fb G#7
And maybe I should get my head right
'Fore I spend nights
A
Reeling every single thought onto my bedside
Fb
And lose your excitement
About the shit that I'm making
G#7
It's my fault that it's breaking
A
Headlights in my left mind; saying everything it will get fine, and
Fb G#7
Rest in peace to summer regrets
A
Every morning you'll be haunting all of last nights texts
Fb G#7
I talk a lot about my mental defence
A
I wish that I would fucking use it, cause my head's quite messed
Fb G#7
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'
Fb G#7
And every night beside my pillows writing poems again
A
You proved that life could lighten again
[Hook]

A B C#m D# Fb x4
[Verse 3]
A
Take me back to better days
B
The smell of rum and smoky haze
C#m
I gaze, I daze, it's not a phase
D# Fb
I see potential in your ways
A
See the brightness in your smile
B
Pupils growing for some while
C#m
Please don't leave when this is done
D# Fb A
My feelings feeling too fragile
B
Stay awhile, take a seat on my bed
C#m D# Fb A
We can talk about the books that you read, instead
B
I'm nervous as fuck, you see my face is red
C#m D# Fb A
Wanna be the man you always spoke of in past tense
B
Make some sense of all the thoughts in my head (hah!)
C#m D# Fb
(Oh wait, start again, start again - no no no)
[Bridge]
A B
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
C#m D# Fb
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
A B C#m
Nah, is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
D# Fb
Tell me! (Tell him!)
A B C#m D# Fb
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
A B
Get the fuck out my head
C#m D# Fb
Now is the summer fully over or is, is it dead?
Fb G#7 A
(freestyled at 4am last night - that'd've been sick)
[Outro]
Fb
Summer sadness course my veins
G#7
Make me feel I'm young again
Amaj7
Take every bad emotion 'way
And make me feel half less insane
Fb
Farewell

See you next year; try to keep you near
Amaj7
Love so dear

Rest in peace
