B F# A
E G#m
once there was a time that i believed
A F#m
that some pouring rain is just the pouring rain
E
it wasn't me
G#m F#m A
with every dim light that isn't shiny and bright
F#m
we'll suspend the storms and the clouds in sight
B F# A
of an endless summer
B F# A
an endless summer
E G#m F#m
an endless summer to be home
E G#m F#m ***(see riff below)
let me go, wasting time
E G#m F#m
let me go waste my time
E G#m
once there was a child, could i believe it was you
A
a kiss was just a kiss
F#m E
no matter how i missed you
E G#m
shine a light on me
A F#m
say a prayer for the leaves
B F# A
of an endless summer
B F# A
an endless summer
E G#m F#m
an endless summer to be home
E G#m F#m
did we go on too long
E G#m F#m
did we listen too close
E G#m F#m
till we felt strong
E G#m F#m
the things children shouldn't know
G#m F#m A
and so the fall-out from your thirty [?]
F#m
of broken chairs and your pedigrees
G#m F#m A
and the songs kill the songs, and the daughters stay wise
F#m
'cause when we rule, everybody dies
B F# A
in an endless summer
B F# A
an endless summer
E G#m F#m
an endless summer to be home
solo: E G#m F#m x2
E G#m A
B F# A
E G#m F#m x4
E G#m F#m
let me go, wasting time
let me go waste my time
let me go waste my time
let me go waste my time
E G#m F#m
now you can disagree
with how i choose to live
but freedom isn't free
unless you learn how to give
E G#m F#m
summer, summer, summer, yeah
summer, summer, summer, yeah
summer, summer, summer, yeah
summer, summer, summer, yeah
end on E
repeat intro riff

| did we go on too long did we listen too close to a youth built strong with things children shouldn't know ^to me this is about being one of the not "normal" kids/teenagers, being someone who doesn't care about all the conventional stuff. so i think this song is about some time that was spent on growing a lot. | |

| I haven't heard this song for like 6 months, and I never paid attention to it. Now it starts getting nice out and I have it playing in my head. | |

| I can see that, because summer is a time for growing. you have a few months to do nothing but reflect and hang out, and towards the end it seems endless and you start to get lost in yourself because you begin to "listen too close". I also think its about something deeper than that though, but its hard to figure it out, billy is very cryptic with his lyrics, but thats also why hes so amazing! | |
