[Verse 1]
When I Gmleft I thought I would be Astronger
But in Dmfact, it took away my energy
Hard to Gmtell you that I could not Areally see
BeyDmond the gates of this purgatory
I am so Gmtainted now, I cannot Awash you off
The Dmmemories still don't seem to fade
When I Gmleft, did you even Awash your tears?
'Cause Bbmine have been Adryin' for days
[Chorus]
GmSomethin' in the Away
Why am I Dmcryin' for you, babe?
GmCan't stand the Arain
Time to Dmmove on anyway
[Post-Chorus]
Don't Gmask me Awhy
It's Dmdone
So Gmlong, goodAbye
I'm Dmgone
[Refrain]
'Cause only Gmsun in the summer Alasts
No holdin' Dmon and no lookin' back
Even the Gmsun doesn't seem to Alast
It don't hold Dmon, it's not comin' back
[Verse 2]
If I Gmkept a hold a little Alonger
I would Dmnever think I'd ever get away
Don't want to Gmsay I tried to Akeep ya
Say Dmlove is blind, I couldn't see you change, no
Don't wanna Gmfind myself back in that Aplace
I have Dmwasted all my tears on fools
There was no Gmhelp for me, no savin' Agrace
DmI had been tryin' for days
[Chorus]
There was Gmsomethin' in the Away
Why am I Dmcryin' for you, babe?
No I Gmcan't stand the Arain
Time to Dmmove on anyway
[Post-Chorus]
Don't Gmask me Awhy
It's Dmdone
So Gmlong, goodAbye
I'm Dmgone
[Refrain]
'Cause only Gmsun in the summer Alasts
No holdin' Dmon and no lookin' back
Even the Gmsun doesn't seem to Alast
It don't Dmhold on, it's not comin' back
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Well there was Gmsomethin' in the Away
Why am I Dmcryin' for you, babe?
I Gmcan't stand the Arain
Time to Dmmove on anyway
[Refrain]
'Cause only Gmsun in the summer Alasts
No holdin' Dmon and no lookin' back
Even the Gmsun doesn't seem to Alast
It don't hold Dmon, it's not comin' back
Even the sun in the summer doesn't seem to last

[Verse 1]

Gm A

When I left I thought I would be stronger

But in fact, it took away my energy

Gm A

Hard to tell you that I could not really see

Beyond the gates of this purgatory

Gm A

I am so tainted now, I cannot wash you off

The memories still don't seem to fade

Gm A

When I left, did you even wash your tears?

Bb A

'Cause mine have been dryin' for days

[Chorus]

Gm A

Somethin' in the way

Why am I cryin' for you, babe?

Gm A

Can't stand the rain

Time to move on anyway

[Post-Chorus]

Gm A

Don't ask me why

It's done

Gm A

So long, goodbye

I'm gone

[Refrain]

Gm A

'Cause only sun in the summer lasts

No holdin' on and no lookin' back

Gm A

Even the sun doesn't seem to last

It don't hold on, it's not comin' back

[Verse 2]

Gm A

If I kept a hold a little longer

I would never think I'd ever get away

Gm A

Don't want to say I tried to keep ya

Say love is blind, I couldn't see you change, no

Gm A

Don't wanna find myself back in that place

I have wasted all my tears on fools

Gm A

There was no help for me, no savin' grace

I had been tryin' for days

[Chorus]

Gm A

There was somethin' in the way

Why am I cryin' for you, babe?

Gm A

No I can't stand the rain

Time to move on anyway

[Post-Chorus]

Gm A

Don't ask me why

It's done

Gm A

So long, goodbye

I'm gone

[Refrain]

Gm A

'Cause only sun in the summer lasts

No holdin' on and no lookin' back

Gm A

Even the sun doesn't seem to last

It don't hold on, it's not comin' back

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Gm A

Well there was somethin' in the way

Why am I cryin' for you, babe?

Gm A

I can't stand the rain

Time to move on anyway

[Refrain]

Gm A

'Cause only sun in the summer lasts

No holdin' on and no lookin' back

Gm A

Even the sun doesn't seem to last

It don't hold on, it's not comin' back

Even the sun in the summer doesn't seem to last
