[Dm] [F] [Em]
[Am] Summer's stretching [G] on the [F] grass, summer dresses [Em]
pass.
[A] In the [G] shade of a willow tree, [F] creeps are crawling [Em] over me.
[Am] Over me [G] and over you, [F] stuck together [Em] with God's [A] hand.
It's gonna get [G] stickier, since [F] we're now in summer.
[G] Let's get undercover, [F] don't try too hard to think.
Don't [G] think at all, I'm not the only [C] one.
Staring at [Am] the sun, afraid of what [D] you'll find.
If you took a look [F] inside, you might just step [C] again.
Staring at [Am] the sun, not the only [D] one, who's happy to [F] go down.
[A] [G]
[F] [Em]
[A] There's an insect [B] in [A] your ear, [F] if you scratch [A] it won't disappear.
It's gonna itch [G] and burn and sting, [B] you wanna see what [G] the scratching brings.
[Am] Waves that lead [G] me out of reach, [F] wreaking on [Em] your back like a [Am] beach.
Will we ever [G] live in peace?
[F] There's bells that get a tune, [G] often heard too.
[F] And bells that can't tune,
[G] often help to preach.
To [C] the ones, staring [Am] at the sun, afraid of what [D] you'll find.
If you took a [F] look inside, not just stepping [C] down.
Staring [Am] at the sun, not the only [D] one, who'd rather go [F] blind.
[Am] [D]
[Am] [G]
[Am] [G]
[D] [G]
[A] Transitions are alright, [Dm] [A] military's still in tact.
Armour plated suits and tacks, dentists won't say goodbye.
Whispering won't blow the whistle, God is good but [G] will he listen?
[A] I'm not great but there's something [F] to see in the writing there.
[G] Duty free eyes, [F] but you never really, belong [G] to me.
You're not the [C] only one, staring [Am] at the sun, afraid of [D] what you'll find.
When you step back [F] inside, not sticking on [C] my back.
Staring at [Am] the sun, not the only [D] one, who's happy to [F] go blind.
