[Intro] (Finger Picking) [Verse 1] Summer time and the wind is blowing outside in Lower Chelsea. And I don’t know what I’m doing in this city The sun is always in my eyes It crashes through the windows and I’m sleeping on the couch When I came to visit you That’s when I knew that I could never have you I knew that before you did Still I’m the one whos stupid [Hook] And there’s this burning like there’s always been I’ve never been so alone and I’ve never been so alive. [Verse 2] Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by The cigarette ash flies in your eyes And you don’t mind you smile And say the world it doesn’t fit with you. I don’t believe you you are so serene. Careening through the universe your axis on a tilt you’re guiltless and free I hope you take a piece of me with you And there’s things I would like to do that you don’t believe in I would like to build something but you never see it happen [Hook] And there’s this burning like there’s always been I’ve never been so alone And I’ve C/G* (distorted strumming) I’ve never been so alive (strum) Amaj7  G6sus F and there’s this burnin’ uh huh there is this burning   [Verse 3] yeah yeah yeah...

It starts to rain I paddle out on the water alone  taste the salt and taste the pain. I’m not thinking of you again summer dies and swells rise The sun goes down in my eyes see this rolling wave Darkly coming to take me Home and I’ve never been so alone and I’ve never been so alive.
