G                     D
Feels something like summertime
Em              C
Tough down and nothin' but time
 G                    D
Radio is on and your by my side
Em
Feels something like summertime

G                D
These days life goes like this
Em              C
Wake up take it off some list
G                            D
Gotta be a little something more than like this
Em                          C
In the bottom of my coffee cup
G                            D
I keep up false call in the back of my mind
Em        C
White sand sunshine
G                        D
And you shinin' like a brand new diamond
Em                            C
That's keeping me from giving up
  D
Thinkin' that i had enough
You make me

Chorus:
G                     D
Feels something like summertime
Em              C
Tough down and nothin' but time
 G                    D
Radio is on and your by my side
Em                          C
Feels something like summertime
G                                D
And that first romance and that first blown kiss
Em                    C
Bearing nothin' baby better than this
G                                   D
And its like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
Em C                        G
Feels something like summertime

I was a warm breeze with a cool tan
Life mapped out on the back of my hand
When I was laughing I was making plans
But I didn't laugh when I found you
If there's a heaven baby you're the proof

Chorus

Feels something like summertime
Top down ain't nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime
Feels something like summertime
Top down ain't nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime
