1st Verse
----------------------
EDrinking when you're drunken
To chase down the evF#mening
God that girl goes graceful
Wondering which way's hAome
I heard nothing was changing
And that's the shirt you're wBearing
No wonder no one's noticed
That the summer's been and gone
ENo one says a word
Because it F#mbreaks a heart
ASubmarine keep diving
Seagulls at the waste Bbins
Wish them all a winter
Must be rough at sea
-----------------------
Chorus

The only time he's cried since he was seven years old 
Your best friends forgive you
Your best friends forget you get oldE

2nd Verse
-----------------------
ESteaming at the corners
When the blue pulled ovF#mer
Said he wanted seasons
Miss red hot OctobAer
The Black Maria
Is where he finds his honBour
The darker the corner
Now the summer's been and gone
ENo one says a word because it F#mbreaks her heart
AThe coming and the going
Blame it on the ocBean
Or coastal erosion
It must be rough at sea

Drinking when you're drunken

F#m

To chase down the evening

God that girl goes graceful

Wondering which way's home

I heard nothing was changing

And that's the shirt you're wearing

No wonder no one's noticed

That the summer's been and gone

No one says a word

F#m

Because it breaks a heart

Submarine keep diving

Seagulls at the waste bins

Wish them all a winter

Must be rough at sea

-----------------------

He's given a bloody nose to the best friend he knows

The only time he's cried since he was seven years old

Your best friends forgive you

Your best friends forget you get old

2nd Verse

-----------------------

Steaming at the corners

F#m

When the blue pulled over

Said he wanted seasons

Miss red hot October

The Black Maria

Is where he finds his honour

The darker the corner

Now the summer's been and gone

E F#m

No one says a word because it breaks her heart

The coming and the going

Blame it on the ocean

Or coastal erosion

It must be rough at sea

-----------------------

The only time he's cried since he was seven years old

Your best friends forgive you

Your best friends forget you get old

You get old
