G
I know how to play this game
G
One, two, three and I'm safe
C
Count real slow to five
             G
You couldn't keep me around if you tried
  G
I know how to beat the rage
G
of my tender age
C
touch me once in the hall
    G
but don't look back and don't call

[Chorus]
C                           D      Em
There are some things I can hardly say
C                       D         Em
You've got me feeling a brand new way
C            C/B      D  Em    D
Please don't let this be summerlong

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G
And I used to play this game
G
In the middle lane
C
Pass them all on the inside
    G
And don't get caught in a lie

[Chorus]
C                           D      Em
There are some things I can hardly say
C                       D         Em
You've got me feeling a brand new way
C            C/B      D  Em    D
Please don't let this be summerlong

[Post-Chorus]
               C
'Cause I wanna stay
        D
I wanna stay
               C
'Cause I wanna stay
        D
I wanna stay

[Bridge]
Em                 A
All the nights and wasted time
C                        G          D/F#
trying to get my head to change its mind
Em                   A
all the talk of what it could be
C                  Dadd4
when it never was

[Chorus]
C                           D      Em
There are some things I can hardly say
C                       D         Em
You've got me feeling a brand new way
C            C/B      D       Em    D
Please don't let this be just summerlong
C            C/B      D  Em    A
Please don't let this be summerlong

[Post-Chorus]
               C
'Cause I wanna stay
        D
I wanna stay
               C
'Cause I wanna stay
        D
I wanna stay
C                              D
Please don't let this be summerlong
C                              D
Please don't let this be summerlong
