that goes F#m-Abm-A-B is not necessary and it sounds good just going from F#m to B.

[Intro]

B C#m B F#m Abm A

[Verse 1]

B C#m B

Wait till the heat sets in

F#m Abm A B

and the days grow long and thin

F#m Abm A B

it sets the traffic lights to swaying

C#m

in the wind

[Verse 2]

B C#m B

Run till your legs are sore

F#m Abm A B

turn the lights on, lock the doors

F#m Abm A B

they’ll wait the whole night long to shake you

C#m

to your core

[Chorus]

A B C#m Ebm

See how it burns and how it bends

E B F#m

the way it descends through the trees

outside your room

A E

how the dog days trouble you

and the cool sigh

of the low tide

F#m A B

how it only leaves you blue

B C#m B F#m Abm A

Ah-ah ah-ah-ah oohhh

[Verse 3]

B C#m B

Out in the pines and firs

F#m Abm A B

there were spies and saboteurs

F#m Abm A B

you spent a night this side of breaking

C#m

taking turns

[Verse 4]

B C#m B

You’ve got time to kill

F#m Abm A B

you’ve got moves and summer skills

F#m Abm A B

and even so, they sought to bend you

C#m

to their will

[Chorus]

A B C#m Ebm

Still can’t relax and place your words

E B F#m

just pray that this curse too will pass

dead afternoons

A E

how the dog days trouble you

and the cruel bite

of the sunlight

F#m A B

how it bends and how it burns

A E

and the nightmares reassure

in a clean bed

in a cold sweat

F#m

you’re forgetting all you learned here with your worst fears all confirmed here

[Outro]
