Last American Summer

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
G   D   G   A
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
Palm sweat and butterflies
Bm
Popsicles melting in Mid-July
G                      A
Lost in your baby blue eyes
              D
Oh, season of wonder!
D
Cheap cologne, nervous laughs
Bm
How does anybody fall so fast?
G            A
How my heart broke
                    D
It pounded like thunder
 
 
[Chorus]
    G                             D
The fireworks are burning in your eyes
   G                               A
Outshining all the stars up in the sky
D
What a thing to get myself into
Bm7
Here I am: Red, white and blue
          G
Falling under
A               D
Last American summer
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
Late nights, no regrets
Bm
Long talks, Marlboro Reds
G                      A
Can't get it out of my head
                     D
That our days arе numbered
D
Loaded car, lеaving slow
Bm
Where the hell does innocence go?
G            A
How my heart broke
                    D
And these days I wonder
 
 
[Chorus]
        G                               D
Are the fireworks still burning in your eyes?
         G                         A
Still outshining all the stars up in the sky?
D
What a mess to get myself into
Bm7
Here I am: Red, white and blue
          G
Falling under
A               D
Last American summer
 
 
[Interlude]
G   D   Bm  G  A
 
 
[Bridge]
D
Shoebox memories from the past
Bm
Of young love gone by so fast
G                   A
I smile when I look back
                        D
At that last American summer
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
        G                             D
And the fireworks are burning in your eyes!
   G                               A
Outshining all the stars up in the sky
D
What a thing to get myself into
Bm7
Here I am: Red, white and blue
          G
Falling under
A               D    Bm
Last American summer
              G
Oh, falling under
A                   D
The last American summer
