Capo 4.
[Verse 1]
C Em D
The new year's getting older, the February roses are withered away
C Em D
The sun keeps getting closer, sinking a little slower everyday
C Em
Ooh it's getting louder at the lights, music clashing in the street,
D
Moon shining on the parking lot dolls
C Em D
Tanned legs in the night, sliding out of the sea, stilettos at the crosswalk
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em D
I graduated but every year in May I get that schools out feeling
C Em D
I feel it creeping in every day and on weekends and I'm drowning in the freedom
[Chorus]
C Em D
Blame it on the bikinis, party girls, and martinis and the sunshine
C Em D
Private school daughters that never go underwater keeping their hair just right
C Em D
I know in September, I'm gonna remember how much I loved her
C Em D
I'm single for the suh uh uh single for the summer
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
C Em D
I've gone off the deep end, company I'm keeping is messing me up
C Em D
The good girls at home sleeping, while I'm out creeping 'til the sun comes up
C Em
Ooh I've got my phone faced down, and my hair combed back,
D
Riding round getting good at the game
C Em D
Saying the wrong things right, chasing midtown girls holding hands and forgetting their names
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em D
I graduated but every year in May I get that schools out feeling
C Em D
So I wanna leave and pretend that I'm not a cheater and I can't help leaving
[Chorus]
C Em D
Blame it on the bikinis, party girls, and martinis and the sunshine
C Em D
Private school daughters that never go underwater keeping their hair just right
C Em D
I know in September, I'm gonna remember how much I loved her
C Em D
I'm single for the suh uh uh single for the summer
[Bridge]
C Em D C Em D
Ooh ooh
C Em D
All of these pretty young thangs (Pretty young thangs)
C Em
Can make you forget a goodbye set (Pretty young thangs)
D
Trying to make a good guy bad
[Chorus]
C Em D
Blame it on the bikinis, party girls, and martinis and the sunshine
C Em D
Private school daughters that never go underwater keeping their hair just right
C Em D
I know in September, I'm gonna remember how much I love her
C Em D
I'm single for the suh uh uh single for the summer
C Em D
I'm single for the suh uh uh single for the summer
C Em
Why do I love all of these city girls
D C Em
Why do I love all of these city girls
D C Em
Why do I love all of these city girls with pretty eyes
D C Em D
Down on the money and broken hearted rich girls, the debutantes, the small town runaways
C Em D
All dolled up at the bar, with debit cards, they don't know how pretty they are
C Em D C Em D C Em D
City girls, city girls
C Em D
Kissing in the daylight
[Outro]
(played in fade out)
C Em D x6
