Brad Paisley, "Beat This Summer"


(intro)
F#  A#m  B   C#, 
F#                  A#m                B   C#
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh, Oh


(verse)
         F#
Like the first wheel goes around and around
         A#m
Well the trouble with up is there's always a down
          B
First I'm holding your hand and we're on the boardwalk
        C#
There's heaven right here on these streets and these docks


(verse)
        F#
But the sun keeps settin', the days go fast
        A#m
And the sand the beach is like an hourglass
B
I can just feel it all slipping away
    C#
And babe I can already say that


(chorus)
          F#               D#m 
As long I live, whatever I do
   B
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
C#                                       F#
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
          D#m
Baby it's true
    B
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
              C#                                           F# 
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you


(instrumental)
F#  D#m  B  C#

(Verse)
F#
Before you know it it's all gonna stop
           A#m
They'll be rolling up windows and puttin' up tops
     B
Be a cold wind blowin' the leaves through the air
    C#
You won't find a tan line anywhere


(verse)
F#
Baby I know that it ain't over yet
   A#m 
So let's make the most of what we have left
         B
But it's hard living for this moment we're in and
C#
Knowing it's all gonna end?


(chorus)
          F#               D#m 
As long I live, whatever I do
   B
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
C#                                       F#
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
          D#m
Baby it's true
    B
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
              C#                                           F# 
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you


(instrumental-bridge)
F#  D#m  B  C#, F#  D#m  B  G#m  C#

C#                                       A#m 
Yeah looking at you, girl, standing there
                                               B
Got your wayfarers on and the sun in your hair
                                                C# 
And just like the song in a seashell, you'll be stuck in my mind
C#
Bouncing around in my head and baby I can tell


(chorus-out)
          F#                                 D#m
As long I live (as long as I live), whatever I do (Whatever I do)
   B
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
C#                                       F# 
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
          D#m
Baby it's true
    B
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
              C#                                           F#   D#m  B  C# (fade)
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you
