verse 1 
 
C       G  Em          D      C 
That night I still remember 
C           G      D               C 
It was warm in the middle of summer 
C          G               Em       D      C 
Your voice like a lullaby, so low, so sweet 
C                  G             D           C 
Thought you had me but I?d never been so free 
G          Em          D             C 
Now you?re scared but you don?t know why 
G        D                                    C 
You keep running but there?s nowhere to hide 
 
 
 
 
C   G             D        C 
You never thought I?d ever be 
C             Em        D        Em   C 
Something you want, something you need 
C              G           Em      C 
Uh, oh, we got lost in the summer heat 
C       Em             D    Em     C 
Now you just can?t get over me 
 
 
verse 2 
 
C           G         Em              D           C 
We?ll spend the night watching movies in the dark 
C              G     D                    C 
You?re playing bands I?ve never heard of 
C         G    Em             D     C       
And I know you tend to always over think 
C           G       D                   C 
But tonight it?s as simple as just kiss me 
G          Em          D             C 
Now you?re scared but you don?t know why 
G        D                              C 
You keep running but there?s nowhere to hide 
G        Em           D        C 
Scared to care because then you lose 
G        D                              C 
Try and hide how you feel but I feel it, too 
 
 
 
 
C   G             D        C 
You never thought I?d ever be 
C             Em         D        Em   C 
Something you want, something you need 
C              G           Em      C 
Uh, oh, we got lost in the summer heat 
C       Em             D    Em     A 
Now you just can?t get over me 
 
 
Bridge 
 
A           Em   C                        G 
Take all of your doubts and throw them away 
G     F#         Em           D           C 
We?re falling tonight tell me that you?ll stay 
       D 
You?ll stay 
 
Interlude: C G D 
 
 
 
 
C   G             D        C 
You never thought I?d ever be 
C             Em         D        Em   C 
Something you want, something you need 
C              G           Em      C 
Uh, oh, we got lost in the summer heat 
C       Em             D    Em     C 
Now you just can?t get over me 
 
C   G             D        C 
You never thought I?d ever be 
C             Em         D        Em   C 
Something you want, something you need 
C              G           Em      C 
Uh, oh, we got lost in the summer heat 
C       Em             D    Em     C 
Now you just can?t get over me
