Standard tuning
[Verse]
G Em
I remember when the days were long,
D C
And the nights when the living room was on the lawn.
G Em
Constant quarreling, the childish fits
D C
and our clothes in a pile on the ottoman.
G Em
All the slander and double-speak
D C
Were only foolish attempts to show you did not mean
G Em
Anything but the blatant proof
D C
was your lips touching mine in the photobooth?
[Chorus]
Am C
And as the summer's ending,
Em D C
The cool air will put your hard heart away.
Am C
You were so condescending
Em D C
And this is all that's left
Em D C
Scraping paper to document.
Em D G
I've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on.
[Instrumental]
Em D C G Em D C
[Verse]
G Em
Cup your mouth to compress the sound,
D C
Skinny dipping with the kids from a nearby town.
G Em
And everything that I said was true,
D C
As the flashes blinded us in the photobooth.
G Em
Well, I lost track, and then those words were said.
D C
You took the wheel and you steered us in to my bed.
G Em
Soon we woke and I walked you home,
D C
And it was pretty clear that it was hardly love.
[Chorus]
Am C
And as the summer's ending,
Em D C
The cool air will put your hard heart away.
Am C
You were so condescending
Em D C
And this is all that's left
Em D C
Scraping paper to document.
Em D G
I've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on.
[Verse]
Am C
And as the summer's ending,
Em D C
The cool air will rush your hard heart away.
Am C
You were so condescending
Em D C
As the alcohol drained the days.
Am C
And as the summer's ending,
Em D C
The cool air will rush your hard heart away.
Am C
You were so condescending
Em D C
And this is all that's left
Em D C
The empty bottles, spent cigarettes.
Em D
So pack a change of clothes,
'cause it's time to [C] move [G] on.
