Brad Paisley, "Beat This Summer"

(intro)
F# A#m B  C#,
F#         A#m        B  C#
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh, Oh

(verse)
     F#
Like the first wheel goes around and around
     A#m
Well the trouble with up is there's always a down
     B
First I'm holding your hand and we're on the boardwalk
    C#
There's heaven right here on these streets and these docks

(verse)
    F#
But the sun keeps settin', the days go fast
    A#m
And the sand the beach is like an hourglass
B
I can just feel it all slipping away
  C#
And babe I can already say that

(chorus)
     F#        D#m
As long I live, whatever I do
  B
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
C#                    F#
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
     D#m
Baby it's true
  B
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
       C#                      F#
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you

(instrumental)
F# D#m B C#

(Verse)
F#
Before you know it it's all gonna stop
      A#m
They'll be rolling up windows and puttin' up tops
   B
Be a cold wind blowin' the leaves through the air
  C#
You won't find a tan line anywhere

(verse)
F#
Baby I know that it ain't over yet
  A#m
So let's make the most of what we have left
     B
But it's hard living for this moment we're in and
C#
Knowing it's all gonna end

(chorus)
     F#        D#m
As long I live, whatever I do
  B
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
C#                    F#
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
     D#m
Baby it's true
  B
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
       C#                      F#
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you

(instrumental-bridge)
F# D#m B C#, F# D#m B G#m C#

C#                    A#m
Yeah looking at you, girl, standing there
                        B
Got your wayfarers on and the sun in your hair
                        C#
And just like the song in a seashell, you'll be stuck in my mind
C#
Bouncing around in my head and baby I can tell

(chorus-out)
     F#                 D#m
As long I live (as long as I live), whatever I do (Whatever I do)
  B
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
C#                    F#
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
     D#m
Baby it's true
  B
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
       C#                      F#  D#m B C# (fade)
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you
