Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
G+G                 B minorBm
Indian summer, how much more can I take, I'm begging for the heat to break
  E minorEm        B minorBm                             G+G
My throat is parched, my skin is red, fan blowing on my face in a sweat soaked bed
             B minorBm
Fall is a daydream from when I was young
                 E minorEm
Backpacks, bonfires, cool in the sun
           D MajorD
Crickets and kisses beneath the moon, sneaking upstairs to my bedroom
D MajorD
If I could take back just one thing, I'd rewind to the last day of spring
D MajorD
You held my hand, you squeezed it hard, we walked until the streets got dark
D MajorD
Gave me some new book to read, saying, "I hope you find what you need"
  E minorEm
And just like that we're the broken hearted
D MajorD              G+G D MajorD G+G B minorBm
Just like that, my fever started

Chorus:
    G+G          D MajorD    G+G        D MajorD
And the green grass turned to sand, the sky filled with a haze
  G+G          B minorBm
We thought we wanted freedom but what we got were these dog days
    G+G        D MajorD       G+G       D MajorD
And our lonely hearts are lazy, sipping a strangers salty kiss
G+G       B minorBm                D MajorD
Begging for a body, we'll take anything we can get


Verse 2:
D MajorD
Labour day weekend, 90 degrees, a bottle of beer between my knees
 E minorEm        D MajorD
A augmentedA smoke, a sigh, a sideways glance, he's not the type to ask me to dance
G+G                 B minorBm
Not the type to hold my hand but he once played in some famous band
  E minorEm                 D MajorD
An empty pool, we both take a dive, we leave that party for a drive


Chorus:
  G+G           D MajorD     G+G        D MajorD
But his hands are like sandpaper, his eyes are dark and dull
G+G        B minorBm
Months of dehydration have really taken their toll
    G+G       D MajorD        G+G       D MajorD
And our tangled torsos tighten as we're moving out and in
  G+G        D MajorD          Bb majorBb  B minorBm
He leaves before the traffic and I'm burning up again


Bridges:
    Bb majorBb         B minorBm
And I'm angry when he leaves me, I love, they love me not
Bb majorBb       B minorBm      Bb majorBb     B minorBm
Popsicle to my temples, I'm so fucking hot
    Bb majorBb      B minorBm       Bb majorBb       B minorBm
And I'm frustrated forever about the air that hangs around
                Bb majorBb    B minorBm G+G D MajorD
Wafting around my apartment, I can't cool down


Outro:
E minorEm D MajorD G+G D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD G+G D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD B minorBm

B minorBm
Indian summer, how much more can I take
   D MajorD
Just waiting for the heat to break
