A G#
Verse:
Eadd9 F#m Em
hearing the frogs chirp,
Eadd9 F#m Em
outside my window pane,
A Am
is a happy reminder,
F#m Em
that summers, on its way,
A Am
if I hold on tight, i'll make it through the night,
Eadd9 F#m Em Eadd9 F#m Em
again. (again)
Eadd9 F#m Em
all of the stars above,
Eadd9 F#m Em
dissolving into my eyes,
A Am
they'll be bouncing off the back of my brain,
F#m Em
cause summers still far away,
A Am
still one more day in the full moon sway,
Eadd9 F#m Em
tonight.
Chorus:
A Am
So long, so long,
F#m Em
have i waited for it to be here,
A Am
so long, so long,
F#m G#
and I don't think it's coming this year.

Bridge:
F#m D#
There's always been a mangled song,
F#m Em? (Not sure about this)
stuck between both of my ears,
F#m D# F#m
oh, and it's so damn sad it could bring a grown man,
Em
to tears.
Verse:
Eadd9 F#m Em
Hearing the frogs chirp,

outside my window pane,

if i hold on tight, i'll make it through the night,

again.
