[Bridge]
G
  I’m drunk in the back of the car
      Bm
And I cried like a baby coming home 

from the bar (oh)
Em
   Said "I’m fine", but it wasn’t true
        C
I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you
 
    G
And I snuck in through the garden gate
      Bm
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
Em
   And I scream "For whatever it’s worth
  C                                             
I love you, ain’t that the worst thing 

you ever heard?"
 
He looks up, grinning like a devil

It’s a cruel summer
