The Summer Cifras

[Verse 1]
Bm                       A                              D
If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it over to your house and pour it
A
loose through your garden
       Bm                             A                       D
So the hinges on your windows would rust and colour like the boats pulled up on the
A
sand for the summer
Em                                    D                                 A
And your sweet clean clothes would go stiff on the line and there’d be sand in your
                Em
pockets and nothing in your mind
Bm                        A                        D                       A
But every year it gets a little bit harder to get back the feeling of when we were 15
            Bm                    A                               D
And we could jump in the river upstream and let the current carry us to the beginning
            A
where the river me the sea again
Em                      D                           A                         Em
And all our days were a sun drenched haze while the salt spray crusted on the window
 
Panes
 
 
[Chorus]
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bm                       A                          D                        A
And I’ll remember that summer as the right one the storms make the pavement steam
 
like a kettle
    Bm                         A                         D                     A
And our first goodbyes always seemed like hours in the car park in between my house
 
and yours
           Em                   D                            A
And if the summer was a song we might sing forever then the winter holds a bite we’d
      Em
never felt before
 
 
[Chorus]
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
 
 
[Bridge]
      A                A/D           A/F#        A/G
But time, is like the ocean, you can only hold a little in your hands
     A                    A/D               A/F#                A/G
So we swim, before we’re broken, before our bones become black coral in the sand
 
 
[Chorus]
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
 
 
[Outro]
Bm                         A                             D
If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it out over to your house and pour it
A
loose through your garden
