Lyrics

AMaj7 (let ring)
Saving it up

Savoring every ounce of sunlight
(Riff 1)
AMaj7

What comes to be, gradually

Feels like overnight
(Riff 1)


EEFF    F#
  So, bundle up
AAA#A#  B

  And hunker down
EEFF    F#

  See you on the other side
E(let ring)

  Mercury falls so


Dmaj7
 How, how do we make it through the days?
                            C#min7
 How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
           C#

Well, you have to understand that
      Dmaj7

Soon enough we’ll wake up from such a daze,
                        D#

thanks to all the many ways
                    Dmaj7 let ring        

We’re all pushing through, for Summertime


Amaj7 followed by Riff 2


AMaj7 (let ring)
We cover it up, we bottle it in,

But that won’t make it feel right
(Riff 1)
AMaj7

Toppin’ it off, rubbing it in

There’s always a big mess of white
Riff 3


Same as above
So bundle up

And hunker down

Here it comes again 

Just one more round

See you on the other side

Mercury falls so


Dmaj7
 How, how do we make it through the days?
                            C#min7
 How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
           C#

Well, you have to understand that
      Dmaj7

Soon enough we’ll wake up from such a daze,
                        D#

thanks to all the many ways
                    Dmaj7 let ring        

We’re all pushing through, for Summertime


AMaj7 let ring
Ba Da Ba Ba Da Ba Ba Da Baaaa
Riff 1
AMaj 7
Ba Da Ba Ba Da Ba Ba Da Baaaa
Riff 2

Oooh (basically same chords as the chorus only palm muted)


Dmaj7
 How, how do we make it through the days?
                            C#min7
 How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
           C#

Well, you have to understand that
      Dmaj7

Soon enough we’ll wake up from such a daze,
                        D#

thanks to all the many ways
                    Dmaj7 let ring        

We’re all pushing through, for Summertime
