Summer Bones
View chords used in this chart
G C
In Ohio there’s a fire that burnt my summer bones
G
Hiding out beyond the tree lines
Em D G
We’d sit for hours and watch them glow
C
Murder seconds in the playground across from Sherwood Park
G
Smoke ourselves to the filter
Em D
And swore we’d split as soon as winter starts
C G
I used to know when I was home
Em D
I used to be invincible, so damn sure of everything
C G
When time alone was so few and far between
Em
We held the world
D C
The world just got too heavy for me
G
Where do I go? I’m so tired of the same roads
D
I know that it’s home but I can’t take the snow anymore
C
We had the fall and now it’s lost like everything
D
Just fell apart right in my arms, I got nothing to lose
G C
We parked our car in the graveyard and drank away our lives
G Em D
Tonight I’ll tear down the headstones we hid behind, one at a time
C G
I used to know when I was home
Em D
I used to be invincible, so damn sure of everything
C G
When time alone was so few and far between
Em
We held the world
D C
The world just got too heavy for me
G
Where do I go? I’m so tired of the same roads
D
I know that it’s home but I can’t take the snow anymore
C
We had the fall and now it’s lost like everything
D
Just fell apart right in my arms, I got nothing to lose
G D
So impertinent when you look at it and I shouldn’t act
C
Like it’s all so tough, or it’s just too much
D G
And I’ll toast to luck if this is as bad as it gets
Cause I got nothing to lose
G
Where do I go? I’m so tired of the same roads
D
I know that it’s home but I can’t take the snow anymore
C
We had the fall and now it’s lost like everything
D
Just fell apart right in my arms, I got nothing to lose
