[Verse 1]
C5Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
in lower C6/AChelsea, and I don't know what I'm doing in this city
The Gsus4sun is always in my eyes
It crashes through the F5windows, and I'm sleeping on the couch
When I came to visit C5you
That's when I knew that I could never C6/Ahave you
I knew that before Gsus4you did
Still I'm the one who's F5stupid
[Chorus]
And there's this C5burning
Like there's C6/Aalways been
I've Gsus4never been so alone
And F5I've never been so alive

CaAm7reening through the universe
Your axis on a G6tilt
You're guiltless and Fmaj7free
I hope you take a piece of C5me with you

And there are C5things I'd like to do
That you don't beC6/Alieve in

[Verse 4]
I go C5home to the coast, it starts to rain
I paddle out C6/Aon the water, alone
Taste the Gsus4salt, taste the pain
I'm not F5thinking of you again
C5Summer dies and swells rise
The sun goes down in C6/Amy eyes, see this rolling wave
Gsus4Darkly
Coming to take me hoF5me
[Outro]
And I've Cmaj7never been so alone
And Fmaj7I've never been so alive

[Verse 1]

Summer time and the wind is blowing outside

C6/A

in lower Chelsea, and I don't know what I'm doing in this city

Gsus4

The sun is always in my eyes

It crashes through the windows, and I'm sleeping on the couch

When I came to visit you

C6/A

That's when I knew that I could never have you

Gsus4

I knew that before you did

Still I'm the one who's stupid

[Chorus]

And there's this burning

C6/A

Like there's always been

Gsus4

I've never been so alone

And I've never been so alive

[Verse 2]

C/G

Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by

Am7

The cigarette ash flies in your eyes and you don't mind

G6 Fmaj7

You smile and say the world,

C/G

it doesn't fit with you, I don't believe you, you're so serene

Am7

Careening through the universe

Your axis on a tilt

Fmaj7

You're guiltless and free

I hope you take a piece of me with you

[Chorus]

And there are things I'd like to do

C6/A

That you don't believe in

Gsus4

I'd like to build something

But you will never see it happen

And there's this burning

C6/A

Like there's always been

Gsus4

I've never been so alone

And I've never been so alive

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]

C/G

Where's the soul? I wanna know

Amaj7

New York City's evil, the surface is everything

But I could never do that

Someone would see through that

C/G

And this is the last time

Amaj7

We'll be friends again

I'll get over you

You'll wonder who I am

[Chorus]

C/G

And there's this burning

Amaj7

Just like there's always been

I've never been so alone, alone,

F C/G

And I've, I've, never been so alive!

[Verse 4]

I go home to the coast, it starts to rain

C6/A

I paddle out on the water, alone

Gsus4

Taste the salt, taste the pain

I'm not thinking of you again

Summer dies and swells rise

C6/A

The sun goes down in my eyes, see this rolling wave

Gsus4

Darkly

Coming to take me home

[Outro]

Cmaj7

And I've never been so alone

Fmaj7

And I've never been so alive
