Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

FIRST VERSE:

It must be summer

Cause the days are long

And I dial your number

But you're gone, gone, gone

I'd set out searching

But the car won't start

And it must be summer

Cause I'm falling apart

SECOND VERSE (same chords except last line):

I try your sister

On the jersey shore

She said you might be stopping by

But she's not sure

So I call your mother

On long island sound

She said it must be summer

[G/f#] /

Cause you're never around

Chorus

And the sun is beating me senseless

I feel defenseless like a dying lamb

I don't want to lie by the oceanside

Don't want to play in the sand

Can't you understand?

Can't you understand?

Instrumental

First Verse Chords

(second verse chords)

It must be summer

Cause the streets are bare

And I try your number

But you're just not there

And the sun keeps shining

Til it's dead and gone

And it must be summer

Cause I can't go on... CHORUS TWICE
