[Chorus]
G G7 Em7 Gaug The mightiest rose, the absence of perfume G Em Am D The casual killers, the military curfew G G7 Em7 Gaug The cardboard city and an unwanted birthday G D C G The other side of summer
[Chorus]
G G7 Em7 Gaug The dancing was desperate and the music was worse G Em Am D They bury your dreams and dig up the worthless G G7 Em7 Gaug Goodnight, God bless and kiss "goodbye" to the earth G D C G The other side of summer
[Outro]
