[Intro]
B
[Verse 1]
B What do you do when the quest has ended? B What do you do when the battle's won? B So many questions left unanswered B So many things still left undone E What do you do when it's up to you to choose: B Has something ended or begun?
Stay or go? Pick one
[Verse]
B Do I stay because it's safer? B Back to the home I left behind? B I could stay and train for a piece of the action B But what about peace of mind? E Ugh! What's my deal? Why do I feel E F# There's something left I still need to find?
[Chorus]
N.C. E Where do you go when it's over? B E What do you do when you've come to B Bsus4 The last day of summer?
[Interlude]
B Attention, campers. It's the last day of summer. Bsus4 E If you intend to make me miserable year-round, please inform us by sundown. B Otherwise, the cleaning harpies will eat anyone who remains! Bsus4 B/G# Perry Johanssen, this means you! It's Percy Jackson! Whatever! Bsus4 B How come you don't go home? B/F# B Bsus4 I tried. Once. My dad couldn't deal with the monster attacks, B E And my stepmom couldn't deal with me. It's just asking for trouble. B Sometimes family is worth the trouble. Believe me. Bsus4 B F# I guess we both have a choice to make, Seaweed Brain.
[Chorus]
N.C. E Where do you go when it's over? B E What do you do when you've come to G#m The last day of summer?
[Interlude]
N.C. Bm Luke! If it isn't the big hero! G I've barely seen you since I got back, you avoiding me?! Not at all. Em Tough last day? I thought when I finished my quest, Bm Everything would make sense. But it doesn't. It's the last day of summer, G But I don't feel like anything's over. I get it. Em My quest was supposed to be the biggest thing in my life. Bm/D C#5 Bm I came back changed. But the rest of camp was exactly the same.
[Bridge]
N.C.
Chiron always says our parents made camp as this safe magic space
Bm The truth: it's so they don't have to see us Bm They won't bother to show their face E It's time to make the world our own F# F#/G Time someone put them in their place
N.C.
Ares thought we were starting a war between the gods, but it was bigger than that.
N.C.
It's about wiping them out - and taking our turn!
N.C.
You're the lightning thief!
[Interlude]
C#5 C#5 The Oracle warned you. "Betrayed by a friend" C#5 C#5 E5 You set me up. You were trying to free Kronos. Why? G5 He promised me the power to defeat our parents"! F#5 He's using you! To get back at the gods! Good!
[Bridge]
E I've been here since I was a kid G#m I did everything they ever asked, yeah I did A5 And for what? You know this world will never be ours B B/G# As long as our parents rule over the stars
(What do you do on the last day of summer?)
B5
So I'll do anything(Summer, summer, summer, summer...)
E I don't care if I hurt anyone G#5 It doesn't pay to be a good kid A A good kid, a good son
[Outro]
B The gods were never on our side E So I think it's time we watch them fall G5 And soon you'll see what I did F# Soon they'll be no gods at all!
