[Verse]
Sort of wonder Amwhy no one said a E/G#word
Don't you like it on the C/Gsly?
Don't you like it till it Abhurts?
Have BbI been on your Ammind? What's a voice without a E/G#song?
Something in your C/Ghead you've been fighting all aAblong...Gm  
[Interlude]
Am  E/G#  C/G  Ab
[Verse]
BbI don't want to Amsay it, the news is not so E/G#good
We'll never get aC/Gway, and even if we Abcould
We'd just Bbplay the Amtambourine around an open E/G#flame
Oversleep and C/Gburn to be back in the Abgame
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause Bbsummer never Ccomes nowhere near high Enoon
And winter never Amcomes nor the harvest AbmoonBb  
[Chorus]
Raw Csugar
I don't want to die living in a Bbhigh rise grave (My baby come home)

Raw Csugar
I don't want to die living in a Bbhigh rise grave (My baby come home)
AbSame black day, Gmhigh rise grave
[Interlude]
Am  E/G#  C/G  Ab
[Verse]
BbNo I'm not complAmaining, yes it could be E/G#worse
Ferment on the wiC/Gsh bone, match the lips to the Abpurse
BbNeighborhood's a Amrunway, fry the ass and tE/G#highs
Dirty diamond dC/Gealers, pushed behind the iAbre's
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause Bbsummer never Ccomes nowhere near high Enoon
And winter never Amcomes nor the harvest AbmoonBb
