       D#                           D#7
What a waste, I could've been your lover
       G#                           D#
What a waste, I could've been your friend
        Fm                          D#/G
Perfect love is like a blossom that fades so quick
           G#                    A#
When it's blowing up a storm in May

Travel south until your skin turns warmer
Travel south until your skin turns brown
Put a language in your head and get on a train
And then come back to the one you love

            Fm                 C7/E
Yeah you're great, you're just part,
        D#           A#/D
of this lifetime of dreaming
       G#/C          D#
That extends to the heart
        Fm           A#    G# F# D#m B
of this long summer feeling

Quiet night, you see the TVs glowing
Quiet night, you hear the walls are awake
Me and you are getting out of the party crowd
Can I see what’s underneath your bed?

Can I stay until the milkman’s working?
Can I stay until the café awakes?
Do you hate me in the light? Did you get a fright
When you looked across from where you lay?

Yeah you’re great, you’re just part
Of this lifetime of dreaming
That extends to the heart
Of this long summer feeling

        G#          Gm
All the history of boys
    Fm         D#
I invent in my head
       G#         D#            A#
Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John

        G#          Gm
All the history of boys
    Fm         D#
I invent in my head
       G#         D#            A#
Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John

       G#                           D#
What a waste, I could've been your lover
       A#                           G#
What a waste, I could've been your friend
