     Em             G
The winter doesn’t want you
    Am          C                     Em
It haunts you, summer serenading’s a long way
       G          Am          C
From this frozen place, your face

     Em            G
Our teacher, our preacher
      Am                C                         Em
It’s nature, and like flowers growing in a bomb crater
      G         Am        C
From nothing a rose, it grows

                           Em       G
I been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
                      Am      C
Not the one that everyone knows
                           Em    G
I'm sick of living in the shadows
                                  Am
We’ve one more chance before the light goes

Chorus:
            C         Em G Am C
Before the summer of love
           Em G Am C
Summer of love

We’re freezing, we’re leaving
Believing that all we need’s ahead of us somewhere
In a summer to come, so we run

I been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
Not the one that everyone knows
I'm sick of living in the shadows
We’ve one more chance before the light goes

Chorus

C            Bm
Oh, and when all is lost
     Em                         G
When all is lost, we find out what remains
C            Bm
Oh, the same ocean’s crossed
    Em                      G
The summer’s pleasure, the summer's pain


I been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
Not the one that everyone knows
In the rubble of Aleppo
Flowers blooming in the shadows

Chorus
