INTRO:
E  C  E  C

VERSE:
   E                            C
I think you're climbing where you cannot go
             E                       C  
Hearing people saying that you're a fool
    G#                                  C#
On the hill apartments rising stopping all the sun
 C                                  B
From a yesterday you never knew

VERSE:
  E                                    C        
I guess you could have seen it on a snow drift
         E                                              C
Yes you could have been around when it made sense
       G#                                 C#
The taste of toast and coffee and the morning paper
         C                                         B
That you wrapped around your knees and dreamt

CHORUS
         G                                      C
You lie around and keep on dreaming wish you were here
             G                                    C
You lie around with all the postcards from your friends
              A                                           D
Yeah but maybe you gotta wake up, deliver and see?
    C                     G
The summer you never meant
    C                     G
The summer you never meant
G B E

VERSE:
       E                                    C
A girlfriend of a boyfriend and a friend of mine
        E                                         C
Tried to rest you from the rest of your life
   G#                           C#
I think you may recover with experience
        C                                 B
The surf? is always hiding inside

VERSE:
    E                                  C
I saw you swimming like a summer swimmer should
           E                              C
I saw you swinging on a hammock in ya (?)
     G#                                  C#
The smell of toast and coffee may be all you want
      C                         B
And maybe that's all you'll get

CHORUS:
         G                              C
You lie around and keep on dreaming wish you were here
           G                                       C
You lie around with all the postcards from your friends
                A                                     D
Yeah but maybe you gotta wake up with winner and see??
       C                          G
The summer you never meant
