Capo on 4:th fret
Am... C... F... C...
C F
Pine needles prickling skin
Am C
red golden sun, approaching night
C
I don't wanna go in
G F
not yet, no, don't wanna go inside

Am C
Summer days are lonely days
F C
that forest place was only mine
Am F
but it's all right if you wanna stay
F C
with bones of a bird and choking vines
F C
off the beaten path there's not a soul
F Am
I didn't know till now
G
that my heart had a hole
C Am
It's starting to heal
F F
although very slowly
C Am
it speeds things up
F
when there's someplace holy
F
you can go
F\E... Dm... G... F...
Am C
Summer days are lonely days
F C
but it's all right if you wanna stay
F C
never felt so stuck in time
F Am
leave the rest behind
F
and just be present
Am... G...
C F
Don't think about what else could have happened
Am C
just dip your fingers into the water
C G
just let the wind brush the hair from your eyes
Am C
forget yourself, forget your past
Am... G...
Pine needles prickling skin
blue juniper bush, warmth lingering
I don't wanna go in
not yet, no, don't wanna go inside
F\E... Dm... G... F...
Summer days are lonely days I'm questioning myself again self-conscious of my awkward ways how you read my face so plain I was gladdest when I played a role I didn't know till now that my heart had a hole C... Am... F... F... C... Am... F... F... C...
