Intro:  A5 A5 A5 A5 A5

FIRST VERSE:

            A5
It must be summer
                    B5
Cause the days are long
                 G5     D5
And I dial your number
                     A5
But you're gone, gone, gone
              F#5
I'd set out searching
                   B5
But the car won't start
                 G5    
And it must be summer
                    D5   D5 D5  
Cause I'm falling apart

SECOND VERSE (same chords except last line):

I try your sister
On the jersey shore
She said you might be stopping by
But she's not sure
So I call your mother
On long island sound
She said it must be summer
D5                     G5 G/f# E5   G5 G5 E5
Cause you're never around

CHORUS:

         D5                 A5
And the sun is beating me senseless
          B5                      A5
I feel defenseless like a dying lamb
                 B5                 F#5
I don't want to lie by the oceanside
                           E5
Don't want to play in the sand
                 D5
Can't you understand?
                 E5   E5  E5
Can't you understand?

INSTRUMENTAL: First Verse Chords

(second verse chords)
It must be summer
Cause the streets are bare
And I try your number
But you're just not there
And the sun keeps shining
Til it's dead and gone
And it must be summer
Cause I can't go on... CHORUS TWICE
