4/4

    G5
The sun struggles up another beautiful day
           E5         A5
And I felt glad in my own suspicious way
G5           C5           G5           C5
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
G5                 E5             A5
Despite the contradiction and confusion
     D5              C5
Felt tragic without reason
                           D5
There's malice and there's magic in every season


CHORUS
G5                F5               E5        C5
>From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf
    G5     E5      A5 D5
The other side of Summer
G5              F5              E5       C5
To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf
    G5     D5       A5 G5
The other side of Summer

G5 D5 A5 G5

              D5                         Bb5               A5
The automatic gates close up between the shanties and the palace
    D5                        Bb5     A5
The blowtorch amusements, the voodoo chalice
    D5                          Bb5        A5
The pale pathetic promises that everybody swallows
  D5              A5              D5             ( B5 C5  B5    A5  D5 )   D5
A teenage girl is crying 'cos she don't look like a million dollars
  ( B5    C5   B5  A5   D5 )  D5
So help her if you can
( B5   C5   B5     A5    D5 ) D5
'Cos she don't seem to have the attention span


CHORUS

                D5             Bb5         A5
Was it a millionaire who said "imagine no possessions"?
  D5                              Bb5               A5
A poor little schoolboy who said "we don't need no lessons"?
    D5                  Bb5               A5
The rabid rebel dogs ransack the shampoo shop
    D5              A5       D5
The pop princess is downtown shooting up
( B5  C5  B5    A5  D5 )  D5
And if that goddess
( B5 C5   B5   A5  D5 )  D5
is fit for burning
( B5  C5   B5    A5    D5 )  D5
The sun will struggle up the world will still keep turning

G5
Madman standing by the side of the road saying
                  E5               A5
"Look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes"
G5           C5           G5           C5
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
G5               E5           A5                 D5               C5
Now you can't afford to fake all the drugs your parents used to take
                    D5
Because of their mistakes you'd better be wide awake


CHORUS

    G5         F5
The mightiest rose
    E5         C5
The absence of perfume
    G5      E5
The casual killers
    A5       D5
The military curfew
    G5         F5
The cardboard city
       E5       C5
And an unwanted birthday
    G5     E5      A5 G5
The other side of summer
    G5           F5                 E5        C5
The dancing was desperate and the music was worse
     G5         E5         A5         D5
They bury your dreams and dig up the worthless
    G5          F5
Goodnight, God bless
          E5              C5
And kiss "goodbye" to the earth
    G5     E5      A5 G5
The other side of summer
