B                A
I hate the winter, can't stand the cold
   E                       B
I tend to cancel all the plans (so sorry, I can't make it)
B                       A
But when the heat comes, something takes a hold
       E                B
Can I kick it? Yeah, I can

     B
My cheeks in high colour, overripe peaches
A
No shirt, no shoes, only my features
E                                     B
My boy behind me, he's taking pictures
B
Lead the boys and girls onto the beaches
A
Come one, come all, I'll tell you my secrets
E                              B
I'm kinda like a prettier Jesus

Chorus:
                      A
Ahh ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah ahh
                   E
Forget all of the tears that you've cried
     B
It's over (over, over)
                      A
Ahh ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah ahh
                     E
It's a new state of mind
                        B
Are you comin', my baby?

Acid green, aquamarine
The girls are dancing in the sand
And I throw my cellular device in the water
Can you reach me? No, you can't (Aha)

My cheeks in high colour, overripe peaches
No shirt, no shoes, only my features
My boy behind me, he's taking pictures (He's taking pictures)
Lead the boys and girls onto the beaches
Come one, come all, I'll tell you my secrets
I'm kinda like a prettier Jesus

Chorus:
Turn it on in a new kind of bright
It's solar (Solar, solar, solar, solar, solar)
Come on and let the bliss begin
Blink three times when you feel it kicking in

     B     A    E     B
That solar-olar-olar power
B     A    E     B
Solar-olar-olar power
B     A    E     B
Solar-olar-olar power

B     A    E     B
Solar-olar-olar power
B     A    E     B
Solar-olar-olar power
B     A    E
Solar-olar-olar power
