Summer In December

Am   Dm
Uh, yeah
G       Am
I just told myself, uh
Dm         G   Am F
Yeah, uh, yeah

[Chorus]
Dm
Welcome to A
The land of opportunity where 
everybody stay
Am
The girls are pretty, the sun will 
shine 360 days
But I don't always feel that way, 
 Dm
today I need some gray
Yeah, uh, please protect my soul 
before they weather it away
Am
The land of opportunity where 
everybody stay

[Verse 1]
Yeah
      F
They move out to this town where 
dreams, ambitions, and get lost in 
the party
Takes a toll on you, man, this shit 
will charge a large fee
                          Am
Just don't forget who you are, G
Staring at the man in the mirror, 
         Dm
like I recognize him hardly
Burn my sins away and twist some 
parsley
Stop and chill, these days I do it 
     G
sparsely
Am
In another universe I coulda' had a 
stroller and a car seat, word

F
They tell me things will happen how 
they supposed to
But somehow it seems I hurt all the 
people I get close to
                            Am
Experiencing breakdowns at 27 goes 
through
'Cause you don't want to see heaven 
            Dm
yet, where Janis Joplin knows you
On phone calls with Mama like she 
tryin' to give me a earfull
She said "This is the town that 
        Am
happens in so just be careful
Been tryin' to keep your head 
straight
                       F
And dead-off all that bullshit, 
that's just dead weight"
Yeah

[Chorus]
F
Welcome to A
The land of opportunity where 
everybody stay
Dm                                
The girls are pretty, the sun will
        Am
 shine 360 days
But I don't always feel that way, 
  Dm
today I need some gray
Dm
Yeah, uh, please protect my soul 
before they weather it away
     Am
The land of opportunity where 
everybody stay

[Verse 2]
                           F
The whole world's outside knocking 
at my door like "Gerald, where the 
fuck that album at?"
But I ain't home, I'm on the road, 
the stage is where they found me at
          G                    
So my personal interest, take a 
   Am
backseat to the business
But I balance like a gymnast, like 
 Dm
Simone in the Olympics
So please pardon my tardiness, I'm 
tryin' to put my heart in this
                               Am
Give this shit my everything, every 
time when I start with this
Hungry for the world, that’s why I 
starve for this
        F
Yeah, artists come and go these days
 it's easy, they're not hard to miss
Here today, gone tomorrow, they fade
 into a dark abyss
G                                
Hollywood sold you a dream, like how
Am
 the fuck you fall for this?
Have to know yourself or you just 
  Dm
really gon' get lost in this, sauce
I really paid the cost to be a boss
I paid in cash and skipped the tax, 
       Am
ain't asked for no receipt
When I get stressed I play the beat 
and split a Swisher Sweet
F
Damn, yeah, uh

[Chorus]
F
Welcome to A
The land of opportunity where 
everybody stay
G                                 
The girls are pretty, the sun will
        Am
 shine 360 days
But I don't always feel that way, 
 Dm
today I need some gray
Dm
Yeah, uh, please protect my soul 
before they weather it away
Am                         F
The land of opportunity, yeah, uh
