D
Faded sky, faded tan, floorboard still full of sand
G A
Summer heat's droppin', closin' up shoppin'
D
Lonely boardwalk empty rides, ghosts of lovers wave goodbye
G A | D | D | G | A |
The carnival's cryin', birds all flyin', south
[Verse II]
D
I take a turn on your Mama's street wishin' I could catch a peek
G A
Of you on that front step, like "Boy are you here yet?"
D
But I know the truth in the lonesome sound of the choked leaves when they hit the ground
G A | D | D | G | A |
Summertime's dyin', birds all flyin', south
[Chorus]
G D A D
Well it might be over you might be gone
G D A D
Might not miss me you might've moved on
G D A D
But my love will still be hangin' around
G A | D | D | G | A |
When the birds fly south
[Verse III]
D
I'm Passin' Burke's and that neon sign I laugh about the punch you threw that night
G A
No you never did like her, but I never thought you'd fight her
D
And if I close my eyes I can feel your kiss taste the salt drippin' off your lips
G A | D | D | G | A |
But I'm brought back down to Earth by a breeze so cold it hurts
[Chorus]
G D A D
Well it might be over you might be gone
G D A D
Might not miss me you might've moved on
G D A D
But my love will still be hangin' around
G A Bm
When the birds fly south
[Bridge]
D
When winter sets in
G A
When springtime rolls back to summer again
[Solo]
| D | D | G | A | x2
[Chorus]
G D A D
Well it might be over you might be gone
G D A D
Might not miss me you might've moved on
G D A D
But my love will still be hangin' around
G A | D | D | G | A |
When the birds fly south
