Chords.

Fever dream high in the quiet of the night

you know that I caught it.

Bad bad boy shiny toy with a price

you know that I bought it.

Drifting real slow, out the window,

I’m always waiting for you to be waiting below.

Dreamers roll the dice, critics roll their eyes,

What doesn’t break me makes me trust you more

And it’s new, the name of your story

it’s blue, the feeling I’ve got

and it’s ooh whoa,

it’s a cruel summer.

It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em

no rules, unbreakable even

but ooh whoa,

it’s a cruel summer… with you.

Hang your head low

in the glow of the vending machine

I’m not cryin’.

We say that we’ll just use it up in these tryin’ times

we’re not tryin’.

So cut the headlights, summer’s all night,

I’m always waiting for you just to find your way home.

Dreamers roll the dice, critics roll their eyes,

and if I leave you’ll be the last to know.

Oh it’s new, the name of your story

it’s blue, the feelin’ I’ve got

and it’s ooh whoa,

it’s a cruel summer.

It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em

no rules, unbreakable even

but ooh whoa,

it’s a cruel summer… with you.

I’m stuck in the back of the car

and I cried like a baby coming home from the dark

Said, “I’m fine” but it wasn’t true –

I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you and I,

snuck in through the garden gate

every time that summer just to seal my fate.

And I screamed for whatever it’s worth

“I love you,” ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?

He looks up grinning like a rebel.

“I love you, ” ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?

Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
