[Verse 1]
E
summer's almost here and we can't wait to not do anything
C#m
schoolwork's kicking my ass, but i'll meet you by the tire swing
A
we'll laugh until the existential dread all goes away
B
and we've nothing left to do but drive around this town all day
 
E
we've barely got three traffic lights to regulate our roadways
C#m
we drive our cars to parking lots and think about the old days
A
when noone really cared bout much of anything at all
B
writing people names in hearts in pen on bathroom stalls
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A
i wanna run with you...
 
[Chorus]
C#m                                 E
show me who you really are tonight
A
tell your mom you'll come home soon
B
we'll be back at first light
C#m                             E
show me all the places that you hide
A                                  B
come on, kasey-anne! it's time for us to turn the tides
 
E 4 bars

[Verse]
E
summer's finally here, and we are speeding down the bright lit streets
C#m
draining every second, making sure that we make history
A
get inside my car, we'll drive across 3 different towns
B
looking for a place where the suburb blues cant bring us down
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A
i wanna run with you...
 
[Chorus]
C#m                                 E
show me who you really are tonight
A
tell your mom you'll come home soon
B
we'll be back at first light
C#m                             E
show me all the places that you hide
A                                  B
come on, kasey-anne! it's time for us to turn the tides

B 2 bars
 
Electric; Let Eadd9 ring
 
E
we're not quite single stoplight, but we're pretty fucking close to it
C#m
the sweatshirt that you stole from me is too big by the looks of it
A
but i dont even care cause how you wear it makes me smile
B
and i am quite content just looking up at ceiling tiles
 
E
no we're not quite single stoplight, but if we were any other place
C#m
i'd know that you were lonely by the look that i'd see on your face
A
we may say we hate it here, but this is all we know
B                                            N.C.
and you may move down south, but you will always miss the snow
 
[Chorus]
C#m                                 E
show me who you really are tonight
A
tell your mom you'll come home soon
B
we'll be back at first light
C#m                             E
show me all the places that you hide
A                                  B
come on, kasey-anne! it's time for us to turn the tides
 
[Outro]
