Intro
Cm
Eb
It's summertime and I'm getting sad
G7
Summertime sadness drives me mad
Abmaj7
D mellow feelin', staring at ceilings
Hotel rooms hot with these fruitless feelings
[Verse 1]
Eb
Summertime and I'm getting sad
G7
Oh, summertime sadness drives me mad
Abmaj7
D case is packed, aches the fucking back
Sacks full of reasons we ain't ever coming back
Eb
Rest in peace
[Chorus]
Eb G7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Ab Eb
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
G7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
Ab
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Post-Chorus]
Eb G7
Keep your chin up, mate
Ab
See the days are getting longer, you're awaiting your fate
Eb G7 Ab
Sink your soul in the past, remember when you passed out and you slept in his bath
Eb G7
Or when you had your first kiss
Ab
With the stranger from the strange fairytale village
Eb G7
You were crazy as fuck
Ab
If crazy as fuck is relative to being in love
[Chorus]
Eb G7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
Ab Eb
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
G7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
Ab
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Verse 2]
Eb
I just fell off my skateboard
G7
And now my face sore
Ab
I mean I'm glad I'm alone, don't say my mates saw
Eb G7
I'm posted up in the parking lot
You're larking off
Ab
Part of every memory's hard to watch
And I'll laugh it off
Eb G7
And maybe I should get my head right
'Fore I spend nights
Ab
Reeling every single thought onto my bedside
Eb
And lose your excitement
About the shit that I'm making
G7
It's my fault that it's breaking
Ab
Headlights in my left mind; saying everything it will get fine, and
Eb G7
Rest in peace to summer regrets
Ab
Every morning you'll be haunting all of last nights texts
Eb G7
I talk a lot about my mental defence
Ab
I wish that I would fucking use it, cause my head's quite messed
Eb G7
And you're the reason that I try to pretend
Ab
That I could wife up a friend
And make a life out of spendin'
Eb G7
And every night beside my pillows writing poems again
Ab
You proved that life could lighten again
[Hook]

Ab A# Cm D Eb x4
[Verse 3]
Ab
Take me back to better days
A#
The smell of rum and smoky haze
Cm
I gaze, I daze, it's not a phase
D Eb
I see potential in your ways
Ab
See the brightness in your smile
A#
Pupils growing for some while
Cm
Please don't leave when this is done
D Eb Ab
My feelings feeling too fragile
A#
Stay awhile, take a seat on my bed
Cm D Eb Ab
We can talk about the books that you read, instead
A#
I'm nervous as fuck, you see my face is red
Cm D Eb Ab
Wanna be the man you always spoke of in past tense
A#
Make some sense of all the thoughts in my head (hah!)
Cm D Eb
(Oh wait, start again, start again - no no no)
[Bridge]
Ab A#
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Cm D Eb
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Ab A# Cm
Nah, is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
D Eb
Tell me! (Tell him!)
Ab A# Cm D Eb
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Ab A#
Get the fuck out my head
Cm D Eb
Now is the summer fully over or is, is it dead?
Eb G7 Ab
(freestyled at 4am last night - that'd've been sick)
[Outro]
Eb
Summer sadness course my veins
G7
Make me feel I'm young again
Abmaj7
Take every bad emotion 'way
And make me feel half less insane
Eb
Farewell
G7
See you next year; try to keep you near
Abmaj7
Love so dear
Eb
Rest in peace
