Intro
Bm
D
It's summertime and I'm getting sad
F#7
Summertime sadness drives me mad
Gmaj7
C# mellow feelin', staring at ceilings
Hotel rooms hot with these fruitless feelings
[Verse 1]
D
Summertime and I'm getting sad
F#7
Oh, summertime sadness drives me mad
Gmaj7
C# case is packed, aches the fucking back
Sacks full of reasons we ain't ever coming back
D
Rest in peace
[Chorus]
D F#7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
G D
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
F#7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
G
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Post-Chorus]
D F#7
Keep your chin up, mate
G
See the days are getting longer, you're awaiting your fate
D F#7 G
Sink your soul in the past, remember when you passed out and you slept in his bath
D F#7
Or when you had your first kiss
G
With the stranger from the strange fairytale village
D F#7
You were crazy as fuck
G
If crazy as fuck is relative to being in love
[Chorus]
D F#7
Rest in peace, the summer is dead
G D
Say goodbye to the late-night forehead sweat
F#7
Tell my friends that we had a good run
G
Say goodbye to the moon and goodbye to the sun
[Verse 2]
D
I just fell off my skateboard
F#7
And now my face sore
G
I mean I'm glad I'm alone, don't say my mates saw
D F#7
I'm posted up in the parking lot
You're larking off
G
Part of every memory's hard to watch
And I'll laugh it off
D F#7
And maybe I should get my head right
'Fore I spend nights
G
Reeling every single thought onto my bedside
D
And lose your excitement
About the shit that I'm making
F#7
It's my fault that it's breaking
G
Headlights in my left mind; saying everything it will get fine, and
D F#7
Rest in peace to summer regrets
G
Every morning you'll be haunting all of last nights texts
D F#7
I talk a lot about my mental defence
G
I wish that I would fucking use it, cause my head's quite messed
D F#7
And you're the reason that I try to pretend
G
That I could wife up a friend
And make a life out of spendin'
D F#7
And every night beside my pillows writing poems again
G
You proved that life could lighten again
[Hook]
G A

[Interlude]
G A Bm C# D x4
[Verse 3]
G
Take me back to better days
A
The smell of rum and smoky haze
Bm
I gaze, I daze, it's not a phase
C# D
I see potential in your ways
G
See the brightness in your smile
A
Pupils growing for some while
Bm
Please don't leave when this is done
C# D G
My feelings feeling too fragile
A
Stay awhile, take a seat on my bed
Bm C# D G
We can talk about the books that you read, instead
A
I'm nervous as fuck, you see my face is red
Bm C# D G
Wanna be the man you always spoke of in past tense
A
Make some sense of all the thoughts in my head (hah!)
Bm C# D
(Oh wait, start again, start again - no no no)
[Bridge]
G A
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
Bm C# D
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
G A Bm
Nah, is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
C# D
Tell me! (Tell him!)
G A Bm C# D
Is it love or lust or is the summer fully dead?
G A
Get the fuck out my head
Bm C# D
Now is the summer fully over or is, is it dead?
D F#7 G
(freestyled at 4am last night - that'd've been sick)
[Outro]
D
Summer sadness course my veins
F#7
Make me feel I'm young again
Gmaj7
Take every bad emotion 'way
And make me feel half less insane
D
Farewell
F#7
See you next year; try to keep you near
Gmaj7
Love so dear
D
Rest in peace
