Verse: 
It was summer love, 
she was like a drug, 
fit me like a glove, 
everything was all right. 

I was James Dean, 
she was Billy Jean, 
California queen, 
everything was all right.

That's it. I would probably use sort of a light distortion throughout the song, however 
I tabbed this using an acoustic. On the second chord of the song, it sounds like Tim 
uses a volume pedal or a really long delay, so you can work with that if you have a  
pedal.
