[Intro]
One, two, one, two, three
G C
[Verse 1]
G Gmaj7/F# C
And I'm not so innocent
G Gmaj7/F# C
When the sun touched your lips
G Gmaj7/F# C
Summertime is coming fast
G Gmaj7/F# C
And our secret's not built to last
[Chorus]
G Gadd2
And if your words were like the rain
G6/9
That falls from so far up in space
G9
Then I'm the chalk left on the pavement
Cm
By the morning, I could fade away
G Gadd2
Or I'm the clothes left on the line
G6/9
under a storm in June
G9
Or I'm the lightning of July
Cm
'cause I got this whole thing for you
[Transition]
G C
[Verse 2]
G Gmaj7/F# C
Hanging out, we're hanging on
G Gmaj7/F# C
You roll my world 'round in your palm
G Gmaj7/F# C
'Cause every time I'd try to say it
G Gmaj7/F# C
I let the chalk lines run like paint
[Chorus]
G Gadd2
And if your words were like the rain
G6/9
That falls from so far up in space
G9
Then I'm the chalk left on the pavement
Cm
By the morning, I could fade away
G Gadd2
Or I'm the clothes left on the line
G6/9
under a storm in June
G9
Or I'm the lightning of desire
Cm
'cause I got this whole thing for you
[Outro]
G Gmaj7/F# C
Born in Cancer just like you
G Gmaj7/F# C
We're fearsome 'cause we're passing through
