Summer Water
[Intro]
A E7sus4
[Verse 1]
ASometimes that lake got angry, as the lE7sus4ightnin' went and crashed
ASometimes it was so still, it lE7sus4ooked like a sheet of glass
ABut it washed away our beer cans, anE7sus4d it washed away our sins
AIt talked us out of all our clothes, and bE7sus4egged us to jump in
[Chorus]
AThere was magic in the suDmmer water
Learned to swim in the sAummer water
All the small town soEns and daughters
Were bapAtized a thousand timeA7s
Built fire by it lDike an altar
Gave it every song Awe could offer
Memories float on it Elike a bobber
Out there on the sAummer waterE7sus4  A  E7sus4  
[Verse 2]
AWhen a heart was broken, it was better than a cE7sus4hurch pew sanctuary
A lot of loAng kiss, rocks skip, sun drenched orange crush bE7sus4ottle caps got buried
It's where you spend your fiArst night with your first love before the merE7sus4cury starts fallin'
It's where you spend the Alast with your first love, before somE7sus4ebody goes to college
[Chorus]
There was maAgic in the sDummer water
Learned to swim in the sAummer water
All the small town sEons and daughters
Were bapAtized a thousand timesA7  
Built fire by it lDike an altar
Gave it every song Awe could offer
Memories float on it lEike a bobber
Out there on the suAmmer water
[Solo]
D A E
[Verse 3]
There was somethin' 'bout the suDmmer water
Every girl that's whAere you brought her
It's where you slipped that rEing you bought her
On her sAhakin' hand
Built fire by it lDike an altar
Gave it every song wAe could offer
Memories float on it lEike a bobber
Out there on the suAmmer waterE7sus4  A  E7sus4  
[Outro]
Yeah out on the sAummer water

Summer Water

[Intro]

A E7sus4

[Verse 1]

A E7sus4

Sometimes that lake got angry, as the lightnin' went and crashed

A E7sus4

Sometimes it was so still, it looked like a sheet of glass

A E7sus4

But it washed away our beer cans, and it washed away our sins

A E7sus4

It talked us out of all our clothes, and begged us to jump in

[Chorus]

A D

There was magic in the summer water

Learned to swim in the summer water

All the small town sons and daughters

A A7

Were baptized a thousand times

Built fire by it like an altar

Gave it every song we could offer

Memories float on it like a bobber

A E7sus4 A E7sus4

Out there on the summer water

[Verse 2]

A E7sus4

When a heart was broken, it was better than a church pew sanctuary

A E7sus4

A lot of long kiss, rocks skip, sun drenched orange crush bottle caps got buried

A E7sus4

It's where you spend your first night with your first love before the mercury starts fallin'

A E7sus4

It's where you spend the last with your first love, before somebody goes to college

[Chorus]

A D

There was magic in the summer water

Learned to swim in the summer water

All the small town sons and daughters

A A7

Were baptized a thousand times

Built fire by it like an altar

Gave it every song we could offer

Memories float on it like a bobber

Out there on the summer water

[Solo]

D A E

[Verse 3]

There was somethin' 'bout the summer water

Every girl that's where you brought her

It's where you slipped that ring you bought her

On her shakin' hand

Built fire by it like an altar

Gave it every song we could offer

Memories float on it like a bobber

A E7sus4 A E7sus4

Out there on the summer water

[Outro]

Yeah out on the summer water
