Intro:
G+G
 (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Verse 1:
C majorC        D MajorD
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
  B minorBm            E minorEm
You know that I caught it (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)
C majorC       D MajorD
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
  B minorBm            E minorEm
You know that I bought it (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)


Pre-Chorus 1:
      C majorC        D MajorD
Killing me slow, out the window
          B minorBm           E minorEm
I’m always waiting for you to be waiting below
        C majorC
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
       D MajorD
What doesn’t kill me makes me want you more


Chorus 1:
     G+G
And it’s new, the shape of your body
   B minorBm
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
     E minorEm
And it’s ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C majorC
It’s a cruel summer

   G+G
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
  B minorBm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
  E minorEm
But ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C majorC         G+G
It’s a cruel summer, with you

Verse 2:
C majorC         D MajorD               B minorBm
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine
          E minorEm
I’m not buying (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)
  C majorC          D MajorD              B minorBm
You say that we’ll just screw it up in these trying times
           E minorEm
We’re not trying (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)


Pre-Chorus 2:
        C majorC        D MajorD
So cut the headlights, summer’s a knife
          B minorBm          E minorEm
I’m always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
        C majorC
Devils roll the dice (dice), angels roll their eyes (eyes)
     D MajorD
And if I bleed, you’ll be the last to know


Chorus 2:
    G+G
Oh it’s new, the shape of your body
   B minorBm
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
     E minorEm
And it’s ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C majorC
It’s a cruel summer

   G+G
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
  B minorBm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
  E minorEm
But ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C majorC         (G+G)
It’s a cruel summer, with you


Bridge:
G+G
 I’m drunk in the back of the car
   B minorBm
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
E minorEm
  Said I’m fine, but it wasn’t true
    C majorC
I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you

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

He looks up, grinning like a devil


Chorus 3:
   G+G
It’s new, the shape of your body
   B minorBm
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
     E minorEm
And it’s ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C majorC
It’s a cruel summer

   G+G
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
  B minorBm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
  E minorEm
But ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C majorC         (G+G)
It’s a cruel summer, with you


Outro:
G+G
 I’m drunk in the back of the car

  Said I’m fine, but it wasn’t true
    C majorC
I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you

  G+G
And I snuck in through the garden gate

Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
E minorEm

“I love you,” ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
