[#1]
C5 G5 A- E5
Set out all your five cent drinks and cool the
F5 C5 G5 A- E5 F5
carafe for the apple or the lemonade
Stay up on the right hand curb in case a cop become a siren
Run a light and off you girl
I know that summer's slowing down but lift your chin up off the ground
I'm sorry I had to sleep so late
My God has five o'clock already come and gone?
... come and gone
It must have been a storm my dear that tore through August
Left the street a mess and wet with rain
Step out from off my shoulders girl it's you that I get optimistic over anyway
I know that summer's slowing down but lift your chin up off the ground
And I'm sorry I had to sleep so late
My God has five o'clock already come and gone?
... come and gone
[Chorus]
C5 C+
Rain on reddened streets the killing fields and hanging trees
F5 C5
I'm almost out of air
C5 C+
Flood Rome let it fall the sea's too deep for wrecking balls
F5 C5
I'm almost out of air
F5 G5 C5
Can I start again?
[#2]
God knows I got no guarantee
I'll wake up for the light in August or the memory
It's just a matter of indifference don't let the thought of it control you now
Don't you now
I know that summer's slowing down but lift your chin up off the ground
I'm sorry I had to sleep so late
My God has five o'clock already come and gone?
... come and gone
[Chorus]
C5 C+
Rain on reddened streets the killing fields and hanging trees
F5 C5
I'm almost out of air
C5 C+
Flood Rome let it fall the sea's too deep for wrecking balls
F5 C5
I'm almost out of air
F5 G5 C5
Can I start again?
