I walked home to the sun
F G
I couldn't ride another one
G C F G
I thought a lot along the lines
G C
And I've been fooled about all night
F G
Wiped clean always by midnight
G C F G
Wasn't it like an idiot summer
G C F G
Wasn't it like an idiot summer
W/Riff A. (slightly different)

G C
Three, four peaks all I could see
F G
In the morning it's a hundred and ten degrees
G C F G
But I like the goddamn heat
G C
I lie awake half the night
F G
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
G C F G
All the autumn that you can see
G C F G
All the autumn that you can see
C (w/Fig. 1) G C G C G C G
It's growing darker like the trees
C G
But if all the trees should fall
C G C G C G
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep

It's growing darker like the trees
But if all the trees should fall
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
There's no telling I was so confused
I try but I can't help you choose
Tucson is so far away
I lie awake half the night
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
Wasn't it like an idiot summer...
