What a waste, I could've been your lover 
       G                           D 
What a waste, I could've been your friend 
        Em                          F#m 
Perfect love is like a blossom that fades so quick 
          G                     A 
When it's blowing up a storm in May

Travel south until your skin turns warmer 
       G                           D 
Travel south until your skin turns brown 
      Em                                 F#m 
Put a language in your head and get on a train 
              G                   A 
And then come back to the one you love 

            Em                 B7 
Yeah you're great, you're just part, 
        G           A 
of this lifetime of dreaming 
       G            D 
That extends to the heart 
        Em          A    ( G F Dm Bb ) 
of this long summer feeling 

      D                       D7 
Quiet night, you see the tv's glowing 
      G                              D 
Quiet night, you hear the walls are awake 
       Em                       F#m 
Me and you are getting out of a party crowd 
      G                          A 
Can I see what's underneath your bed? 

      D                        D7 
Can I stay until the milkman's working? 
      G                    D 
Can I stay until the café awakes? 
       Em                             F#m 
Do you hate me in the light?  Did you get a fright? 
         G                            A 
When you looked across from where you lay 

            Em                 B7 
Yeah you're great, you're just part, 
        G           A 
of this lifetime of dreaming 
       G            D 
That extends to the heart 
        Em          A 
of this long summer feeling 

        G          F#m 
All the history of boys 
    Em         D 
I invent in my head 
       G         D             A 
Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John
