[E]
[G#m] [C#m]
[E] [C#m] [E] [C#m] I know [E] [C#m] [G#m] [C#m] it's a lie, cause [F#m] summer's for laughing, so [B] why do I cry?
They tell me [E] it's summer, [C#m] [G#m] and [C#m] the sun shines it's true, but [A] it just can't be summer [B] when I'm not [E] with you
[C#m] [E] They tell me [A] to [D] call you, but I still have [E] my pride, I [F#] remember the things you said and all the [C#m] nights that I cried
[C] They [Am] tell me [F] it's summer, [Dm] so I look to the sky, but I can't [Gm] see the sunshine, [A#] cause there's tears [C] in my eyes
The days [F] don't grow longer, [Dm] as in summer they do, it's the nights [A#] that are longer, [C] cause they're nights [F] without you
[Dm] They tell [F] me it's [Dm] summer, the days don't grow longer, as in summer they do, it's the nights [A#] that are longer, [C] cause [F] it's nights without you
