[Intro]
D D/B x4
[Verse 1]
D D/B I guess we’re leaving town again D D/B We’re moving out and moving in D D/B A G Gotta break the news to all my friends, but they won’t care D D/B They’ll just find another face D D/B To fall behind, to take my place D D/B A G To run way out past second base and just stand there
[Chorus 1]
Em G D A Dreamsicle on a summer night in a folding lawn chair Em G D D/B Witch’s ring around the moon, better get home soon
[Verse 2]
D D/B Poison oak and poison ivy D D/B Dirty jokes that blew right by me D D/B A G Mama curling up beside me, crying to herself D D/B Why can’t Daddy just come home? D D/B Forget whatever he did wrong D D/B A G He’s in a hotel all alone and we need him
[Chorus 2]
Em G D A Dreamsicle on a summer night in a folding lawn chair Em G D D/B D Still packing up my room, better get home soon Em G New sneakers on a high school court, Bm A and you swore you’d be there Em G D D/B Heart breaking through the springtime, breaking into June
[Verse 3]
D D/B Broken glass and broken vows D D/B I’ll be eighteen four years from now D D/B A G With different friends, in a different town, I’ll finally be free D D/B Call you both some holiday and D D/B Tell you why I moved away, D D/B A G Say “Everything’s gonna be okay, you can come see me”
[Chorus 3]
Em G D A Dreamsicle on a summer night in a folding lawn chair Em G D D/B D D/B Daddy’s howling at the moon, gotta get home soon Em G Heat lightning in the evening sky and Bm A My mama’s red hair Em G D D/B Hearts breaking through the springtime, breaking into June D D/B Breaking into June
[Outro]
