Chords

This song definitely utilizes two guitars, but this chart sounds 99% close to me. The C* riff that repeats in the first verse is played by hammering back and forth on the A string between the C chord (x30033) and a G/B (x20033). You can simply play power chords if you wish; I prefer to only utilize them in the heavier parts. Tuned to Eb; all chords relative to standard tuning. The full chords are: G - 320033 G/F# - 200033 C - x30033 G/B - x20033 F - 133211 [Intro] G G/F# G C G/B (x2) [Verse]
G
You roll and tumble

               C*
With your big heart falling

G                         C*
You roll and tumble alone

G
You reach forever

               C* 
With your dirty hands holding

G                                   C*
You reach for something you will never know

G
I heard you singing

        C*
In a Taco Bell bathroom

G                           C*
I heard you singing a Cheap Trick song

G
Yeah, we sang Surrender

             C*
All the way to county line

        F
When I listen to that music

    C                          G
It makes me think of summertime
[Chorus]
G 
Yeah, that acid summer

         F
We were wasted and happy

          C
We were laughing in the sunshine

You twist and turn with your bright eyes shining

G                  G/F#    G             C  G/B 
You twist and turn in the California sun

G                G/F#     G                     C  G/B
You wait forever for the life that you dream of

F                                 C          C  G/B
You wait for something that will never come

G                  G/F#  G                   C  G/B
You twist and turn in a slow motion daydream

G                  G/F#     G            C  G/B
You twist and turn in your own sweet hell

G                   G/F#     G          
I don't get so close to the fire anymore

C    G/B     F
But when I think about you now

    C                           G G/F# G 
It makes me think of summertime
[Chorus]
G 
Yeah, that acid summer

         F
We were wasted and happy

We were laughing in the sunshine

Laughing in the sunshine

F                   C  G/B  G C  G/B 
Laughing in the sunshine

[Verse]
G
You twist and turn

G
With your bright eyes shining

G
You twist and turn in the California sun

G
You wait forever for the life that you dream of

F                                 C
You wait for something that will never come

G
You twist and turn in a slow motion free fall

G
You twist and turn in your own good time

G
I can't watch you twisting and turning anymore

            F
You know I never thought a good time

       C                    G 
Would turn into a lifestyle

            G/F#  G  
No, I just can't watch it anymore

            F
But when I think about that summertime

    C                       G    G/F#    
It always seems to make me smile

G
Yeah that acid summer

We were laughing in the sunshine
