Em G Am C
Em G Am C
[Verse 1]
Em G
The winter doesn't want you
Am C Em
It haunts you, summer serenading's a long way
G Am C
From this frozen place, your face
Em G
Our teacher, our preacher
Am C Em
It's nature, and like flowers growing in a bomb crater
G Am C
From nothing a rose, it grows
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em G
I been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
Am C
Not the one that everyone knows
Em G
I'm sick of living in the shadows
Am
We've one more chance before the light goes
[Chorus 1]
C Em G Am C
Before the summer of love
Em G Am C
Summer of love
[Verse 2]
Em G
We're freezing, we're leaving
Am C Em
Believing that all we need's ahead of us somewhere
G Am C
In a summer to come, so we run
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em G
I been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
Am C
Not the one that everyone knows
Em G
I'm sick of living in the shadows
Am
We've one more chance before the light goes
[Chorus 2]
C Em G Am C
Before the summer of love
Em G Am C
Summer of love
[Bridge]
C Bm Em G
C Bm
Oh, and when all is lost
Em G
When all is lost, we find out what remains
C Bm
Oh, the same ocean's crossed
Em
The summer's pleasure, the summer's pain
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Em G Am C
Em G
I been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
Am C
Not the one that everyone knows
Em G
In the rubble of Aleppo
Am
Flowers blooming in the shadows
[Chorus 2]
C Em G Am C
Before the summer of love
Em G Am C
Summer of love
Em G Am C
