Kiss me hard before you go,

Summertime sadness.

I got my red dress on tonight,
                B                    F#m
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight.

Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style.

High heels off, I’m feeling alive.

Nothing scares me anymore. (Two, three, four.)

                   B                         F#m
Cruising down the coast, going ’bout ninety-nine
            A                   C#m
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side.
