VERSE
                                                            
Dm          C               A#m           C             Dm     C    A#m    C
Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning I sit around 
Dm          C           A#m       C         Dm     C      A#m     C
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Dm      C            A#m
Strange voices are sayin'
C               Dm
What did they say?
C        A#m           C
Things I can't understand

Dm              C        A#m      C          Dm      C      A#m     C
