The Summer by Josh Pyke
The Summer
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:6th fret
[Verse 1]
Bm A D
If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it over to your house and
pour it
A
loose through your garden
Bm A D
So the hinges on your windows would rust and colour like the boats pulled up
on the
A
sand for the summer
Em D A
And your sweet clean clothes would go stiff on the line and there’d be sand in
your
Em
pockets and nothing in your mind
Bm A D A
But every year it gets a little bit harder to get back the feeling of when we
were 15
Bm A D
And we could jump in the river upstream and let the current carry us to the
beginning
A
where the river me the sea again
Em D A
And all our days were a sun drenched haze while the salt spray crusted on the
Em
window
Panes
[Chorus]
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
[Verse 2]
Bm A D
And I’ll remember that summer as the right one the storms make the pavement
A
steam
like a kettle
Bm A D
And our first goodbyes always seemed like hours in the car park in between my
A
house
and yours
Em D A
And if the summer was a song we might sing forever then the winter holds a
bite we’d
Em
never felt before
[Chorus]
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
[Bridge]
A A/D A/F# A/G
But time, is like the ocean, you can only hold a little in your hands
A A/D A/F# A/G
So we swim, before we’re broken, before our bones become black coral in the
sand
[Chorus]
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
I wanna live like we live in the summer
[Outro]
Bm A D
If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it out over to your house and
pour it
A
loose through your garden

You can only hold a little in your hands
So swim before we’re broken
Before our bones become
Black coral on the sand
