Cruel Summer

[Intro] G

(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)

C                D
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
    Bm                       Em
You know that I caught it (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)
C             D
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
    Bm                       Em
You know that I bought it (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)

           C                D
Killing me slow, out the window
                   Bm                     Em
I’m always waiting for you to be waiting below
                C
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
             D
What doesn’t kill me makes me want you more

         G
And it’s new, the shape of your body
     Bm
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
         Em
And it’s ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
       C
It’s a cruel summer

     G
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
   Bm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
    Em
But ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
       C                  G
It’s a cruel summer, with you

C                  D                             Bm
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine
                   Em
I’m not buying (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)
    C                   D                            Bm
You say that we’ll just screw it up in these trying times
                     Em
We’re not trying (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)

               C                D
So cut the headlights, summer’s a knife
                   Bm                    Em
I’m always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
                C
Devils roll the dice (dice), angels roll their eyes (eyes)
         D
And if I bleed, you’ll be the last to know

        G
Oh it’s new, the shape of your body
     Bm
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
         Em
And it’s ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
       C
It’s a cruel summer

     G
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
   Bm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
    Em
But ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
       C                 (G)
It’s a cruel summer, with you

G
  I’m drunk in the back of the car
      Bm
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
Em
    Said I’m fine, but it wasn’t true
        C
I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you

    G
And I snuck in through the garden gate
      Bm
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
Em
    And I screamed for whatever it’s worth
   C
“I love you”, ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?

He looks up, grinning like a devil

     G
It’s new, the shape of your body
     Bm
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
         Em
And it’s ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
       C
It’s a cruel summer

     G
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
   Bm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
    Em
But ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
       C                  G
It’s a cruel summer, with you

G
  I’m drunk in the back of the car
      Bm
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
Em
    Said I’m fine, but it wasn’t true
        C
I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you

    G
And I snuck in through the garden gate
      Bm
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
Em
    And I screamed for whatever it’s worth
   C                                              G
“I love you,” ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
