F                   C
So, summer's on the outs,

  G                     Dm
Cicadas swim around the house,

F                          C
Crickets clicking down the block,

Am                         G
We are on an early morning walk.
[Verse 2]
F                               C
No one's up, and no cars on the street,

G                          Dm
Hiding from an unrelenting heat,

F                             C
Sun is climbing out from underneath,

Am                             Dm  G
Lighting up and roasting tired leaves.
[Chorus] F C
G                    Dm
Green to gold, going green to gold,
F C
Am                   G
Green to gold, going green to gold.
[Interlude] F C G Dm F C Am G [Verse 3]
  F                                 C
A breeze blew in and autumn came to town,

G                                     Dm
Branches bare, the leaves rest on the ground,

F                                 C
All that summer worked to bud and bloom,

Am                       G
Only to be swept up by a broom.
[Verse 4]
   F                         C
An uninvited frost formed overnight,

   G                             Dm
By early afternoon, we're losing light,

F                                     C
Now they're saying two, three feet of snow,

    Am                            G
The reading dips to ten degrees below.
[Verse 5]
F                                      C
Morning's bright, the ancient ice withdraws,

  G                                      Dm
I take one step and the ground begins to thaw,

F                                C
Tiny grasses spring up 'round my shoe,

Am                                G
Eager bits of green start peeking through.
[Verse 6]
F                                     C
Seedlings turn to chutes and shoot up high,

G                                Dm
Thunderclouds hold hostage summer sky,

F                                    C
Concrete's hot with fire it can't contain,

Am                                   G
We sit in front of fans and wait for rain.
[Verse 7]
F                                   C
And just like that, summer's on the outs,

  G                     Dm
Cicadas swim around the house,

F                          C
Crickets clicking down the block,

      Am                         G
While we are on an early morning walk.
[Chorus] F C

Am                   G
Green to gold, going green to gold,
F C
G                    Dm
Green to gold, going green to gold,
F C
Am                   G
Green to gold, going green to gold.
[Interlude] F C G Dm F C Am G F C G Dm F C Am G [Chorus] F C
