A DFever dream high in the Equiet of the night
you Dbmknow that I caught it. Gbm
DBad bad boy shiny Etoy with a price
you Dbmknow that I bought it. Gbm
Drifting real Dslow, out the winEdow,
I’m always waiting Dbmfor you to be waiting below. Gbm
Dreamers roll the Ddice, critics roll their eyes,
What doesn’t Ebreak me makes me trust you more
And it’s Anew, the name of your story
it’s Dbmblue, the feeling I’ve got
and it’s Gbmooh whoa,
it’s a Dcruel summer.
It’s Acool, that’s what I tell ’em
no Dbmrules, unbreakable even
but Gbmooh whoa,
it’s a Dcruel summer… with you. A
DHang your head low
in the Eglow of the vending maDbmchine
I’m not cryin’. Gbm
We Dsay that we’ll just use it Eup in these tryin’ Dbmtimes
we’re not tryin’. Gbm
So cut the headDlights, summer’s all Enight,
I’m always waiting Dbmfor you just to find your way Gbmhome.
Dreamers roll the Ddice, critics roll their eyes,
and if I Eleave you’ll be the last to know.
Oh it’s Anew, the name of your story
it’s Dbmblue, the feelin’ I’ve got
and it’s Gbmooh whoa,

It’s Acool, that’s what I tell ’em
no Dbmrules, unbreakable even
but Gbmooh whoa,
it’s a Dcruel summer…
with you. A
A I’m stuck in the back of the car
and I Dbmcried like a baby coming home from the dark. (oh) Gbm
Said, “I’m fine” but it wasn’t true –
I don’t Dwanna keep secrets just to keep you and I
A snuck in through the garden gate
every Dbmtime that summer just to seal my fate. (oh)
Gbm And I screamed for whatever it’s worth
D“I love you,” ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?
N.C.He looks up grinning like a rebel.
It’s Anew, the name of your story
It’s Dbmblue, the feeling I’ve got
And it’s Gbmooh, whoa
It’s a Dcruel summer
It’s Acool, that’s what I tell ’em
No Dbmrules, unbreakable even
But Gbmooh, whoa
It’s a Dcruel summer
with you A
A I’m stuck in the back of the car
And I Dbmcried like a baby coming home from the dark. (oh) Gbm
Said, “I’m fine,” but it wasn’t true –
I don’t Dwanna keep secrets just to keep you and I
A snuck in through the garden gate
every Dbmtime that summer just to seal my fate.
Gbm And I screamed for whatever it’s worth,
D“I love you, ” ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?
He looks up grinning like a rebel.
