C5                                                   A5
Summer time and the wind is blowing, outside in lower chelsea.
And I dont know what Im doing in this city,
                     G5
The sun is always in my eyes,
                       F5
It crashes through the windows, and Im sleeping on the couch,
                     C5
When I came to visit you,
                                     A5
Thats when I knew that I could never have you,
                  G5
I knew that before you did,
                      F5

Still Im the one whos stupid
                C5                    A5
And theres this burning, like theres always been,
    G5                       F5
Ive never been so alone, and Ive never been so alive.

C5
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by,
    A5                                                     G5
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes, And you don't mind, you smile,
F5                         C5
And say the world, it doesn't fit with you.
I don't believe you, You are so serene.
  A5                                        G6sus 
Careening through the universe, Your axis on a tilt, 
                     F5
you're guiltless and free,
                           C5
I hope you take a piece of me with you,
                                                         A5
And there's things I would like to do, that you don't believe in,
                G6sus                                 F5
I would like to build something, but you never see it happen,
                 C5                     A5                       
And there's this burning, Like there's always been,
     G5                       F5 
I've never been so alone, And I've, 
C/G* (distorted strumming)
I've never been so alive,

                 A5                          F5 
and there's this burnin', uh huh, there is this burning,  
                 C5
yeah, yeah, yeah...
Where's the soul. I want to know, New York City is evil.
                                             A5
The surface is everything, but I could never do that,
                  G6sus
Someone would see through that.
                C5                 A5
And this is the last time, We'll be friends again.
    G6sus                             F5
and I'll get over you, you'll wonder, Who I am.
                 C5                        A5
And there's this burning, just like there's always been,
     G6sus                           F5                                
I've never been so alone, alone, And I've, and I've, I've never been so

Outro:
C5
 I go home to the coast. It starts to rain, 
              A5
I paddle out, On the water, Alone,  Taste the salt and taste the pain.
        G6sus                 C5
I'm not thinking of you again, Summer dies and swells rise, 
                     A5                                        
The sun goes down in my eyes, See this rolling wave, 
           G6sus
Darkly coming to take me, 
F5          G6sus                    F5            
Home, And I've never been so alone, And I've never been so alive.
