[Verse 1]
SGummertime was Cnot a lie, but Amjust a feeling that we Ggot
GAnd I know you Cfeel alone too, Ambut this heat is not for Gus
GI know I wanted to Cgo Aminto the valley where it Gsnows
GBut I realCized Amthis place is too cold to live my lifGe
[Chorus]
GI'm sorry, sorry I couldn't go
On with these Clies while I'm kissing your nose
I wasn't readAmy, I should've known that this would hapGpen
GSo let's stop these words, they're turning cold
Let's treat this gooCdbye like a simple hello
You're still so Amyoung, you have room to grow
Into something aGmazing
[Solo]
 G   C   Am   Gx2
[Verse 2]
GYou'll sleep tight, CI know this feels right
AmBut there's something you should understandG  
GWhen the leaves change, Cafter three days
AmYou won't remember who I Gam
[Verse 3]
GI'm not calling you outC  
It's just you Amsound like her when you open your Gmouth
GAnd I can't live with the chancCe
AmThat this feeling's ever coming Gback
[Verse 4]
GSo no, you're not what I needC  
Those Amwords you say, they're the orange in the Gtrees
GAnd I just need to Csleep
AmI'm so sick of always counting sheepG  
[Chorus]
GI've been feeling so ill, is this all in my thoughts?
CThis feeling I get when I want you to rot
AmFor all the things and all the pain you've causedG

GIf we see each other, we won't stop and stare
CYeah, I'd rather you treat me like I wasn't there
AmI don't hate you, but honey, this still hurtsG

GSo I still have the things I've had from the start
CThis pen in my pocket, this rusted guitar
AmAnd the courage to sing this pain aGway

[Verse 1]

G C Am G

Summertime was not a lie, but just a feeling that we got

G C Am G

And I know you feel alone too, but this heat is not for us

G C Am G

I know I wanted to go into the valley where it snows

G C Am G

But I realized this place is too cold to live my life

[Chorus]

I'm sorry, sorry I couldn't go

On with these lies while I'm kissing your nose

Am G

I wasn't ready, I should've known that this would happen

So let's stop these words, they're turning cold

Let's treat this goodbye like a simple hello

You're still so young, you have room to grow

Into something amazing

[Solo]

G C Am G

[Verse 2]

G C

You'll sleep tight, I know this feels right

Am G

But there's something you should understand

G C

When the leaves change, after three days

Am G

You won't remember who I am

[Verse 3]

G C

I'm not calling you out

Am G

It's just you sound like her when you open your mouth

G C

And I can't live with the chance

Am G

That this feeling's ever coming back

[Verse 4]

G C

So no, you're not what I need

Am G

Those words you say, they're the orange in the trees

G C

And I just need to sleep

Am G

I'm so sick of always counting sheep

[Chorus]

I've been feeling so ill, is this all in my thoughts?

This feeling I get when I want you to rot

Am G

For all the things and all the pain you've caused

[Chorus]

If we see each other, we won't stop and stare

Yeah, I'd rather you treat me like I wasn't there

Am G

I don't hate you, but honey, this still hurts

[Verse 5]

So I still have the things I've had from the start

This pen in my pocket, this rusted guitar

Am G

And the courage to sing this pain away

[Outro]

G C Am G

End on G
