[A] [G]
I [D]
[Em] [G]
can hear the ocean pushing out the [D] bay If [G]
I close my eyes then maybe it'll go [D] away
[G] Everywhere there's sunlight and children play for [D] time
[G] Thought I heard a sigh then I realized it was [D] mine
[Bm] The skies are perfect [G] blue again
[Bm] If you look it's hard to tell
If [G] it's [Em] paradise or hell
And now I [G] know, Laura
Summer is a lonely [D] place
[G] Oh, Laura
I wish I could see [D] your face
[G] But a million birds sing
How can I [D] be sad?
[G] It's as if they know I lost the [Em] only chance [D] I had
[Bm] The skies are perfect [G] blue again
[Bm] But it might as well be gray
[G] Cause I let [F#m] you [Em] walk away
[G] And now I know, Laura
Summer is a lonely [D] place
[G] Oh, Laura
I wish I could see [D] your face
[G] Oh, Laura
I kissed you in the [D] rain
[G] Oh, Laura
How I wish I was home [D] again
[G] In
[D] winter I was [G] warmer
Don't make [Bm] me wait here [C] alone
[G]
[D] The sun has cast [C] its shadow
And [D] it chills me to [G] the bone
[F#m] [Em] [D]
[G] Oh, Laura
How I wish I was coming [D] [E] home
[Bm] The skies are [F#m] perfect [G] blue again
But [Bm] it might as well be gray
[F#m] [G] Cause I let [F#m] you [G] walk away
And now I know, Laura
Summer is a lonely [D] place
[G] Oh, Laura
I wish I could see your [D] face [G] Oh, Laura
When I kissed you in the [D] rain
[Em] [G] Oh, Laura
I wish I was home [D] again
[G] Oh, Laura
Summer is a lonely [D] place
[G] Oh, Laura
I wish I could see your [D] face [G] Oh, Laura
When I kissed you in the [D] rain
Oh, [G] Laura
I wish I was home
