Radical Face - Summer Skeletons

put a capo on the third fret . if you’re tuned a half – step down to play other
radical face songs , then capo the fourth instead .

intro : G

C Em
we were sun – burned and shoeless kids
D G
it was the dead of july
C Em D G
we were skippin’ stones in the failing light
C Em
i smelled the fire place
D G
although we were miles away
C Em
we were infinite
D
there was no time in those days

D C
when all we knew wasn’t stolen
G D
there was nothing real to lose
C
when our heads were still simple
G D
we’d sleep beneath the moon
C
you were something
G D
that would always be around
C G
when regrets were nowhere to be found

G C G D G Em C D x4

G C Em
lost out among the trees
D G
our hands scraped the bark
C Em
you still had bloody knees
D G
from your spill in the dark
C Em
we were both laughing then
D G
while carving bad words in the wood
C Em D
we had no need to speak

G C D x4 , build up A G into the verse

G C Em
night , down by the shore
C G
we were down by the shore
G C Em
when the skies opened up
C Gm G
and all the stars fell into the lake
C Em
when the water was warm
C G
walked in over my head
Em C D Gm G
but you pulled me out by the collar of my shirt

* * * the gminor chords in that verse are optional , in the song it sounds like only
the piano drops into the minor chord briefly * * *

G C Em C G C Em D G x2 , but on the second extend the D instead of going into G

G C Em D
dirt in our ears , sun in our eyes
G C Em D
shirts hung in rags , head in the clouds
G C Em D
our fears had no teeth , hearts were still blind
G C Em D
you barely talked and i didn’t mind

G C Em C G Em D x2 , end on G
