Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
D A
Picture a girl and she still ain’t ready
G
You’re waiting outside in your ’02 Chevy
D A
Her silhouette when the sun goes down
G
The only real thing in a bleach blonde town
D A G
Is the way you feel when you’re looking into her eyes
D A G
And you’re wishing that you could steal just a little more time
[Chorus]
D A
Picture a girl with a smile, make you fall too fast
G
Get high on a feeling that you know won’t last
D A
Hits you in the heart like a crashing wave
G
Gone too soon, yeah but you still taste
D A
The slow steady of a last, long kiss
G
Feel the touch of her sun-soaked skin
D A G
You smile at it now but you still can’t help but wonder
D
Her name was Summer
[Verse 2]
D A
Her name was Summer, last name love
G A
It wasn’t long but for three short months you were
D A
All wrapped up, close as you can get
G A
Yeah, you can move on but you can’t forget
D A G A
A girl like that and you know you never will
D A G
‘Cause every time that you look back and hear that song
[Chorus]
D A
You still picture a girl with a smile, make you fall too fast
G A
Get high on a feeling that you know won’t last
D A
Hits you in the heart like a crashing wave
G A
Gone too soon, yeah but you still taste
D A
The slow steady of a last, long kiss
G A
Feel the touch of her sun-soaked skin
D D G
You smile at it now but you still can’t help but wonder
D
Yeah, her name was Summer
A G
Her name was Summer
[Bridge]
D A
Her name was Summer, she was cool like rain
G A
She was every single second ‘til September came
D A
She was everything you needed and everything you didn’t
G
When you think about the good ol’ days
[Chorus]
D A
You picture a girl with a smile, make you fall too fast
G A
Get high on a feeling that you know won’t last
D A
Hits you in the heart like a crashing wave
G A
Gone too soon, yeah but you still taste
D A
The slow steady of a last, long kiss

Feel the touch of her sun-soaked skin
