Gmaj7      Em          Am7           D7
Skin under sun, summer breeze, summer break

Bm7       E7                 Am7       D7
Oh, I was young then, hadn't made my mistake

   Gmaj7       Em       Am7       D7
Unaware of the fall, unaware of my fate

          Bm7          E7            Am7       D7
There was peace in the valley 'til I made my mistake
[Chorus 1]
Em           G            Cmaj7          B7
Quick in the night as the storm took its shape

Am7           G           F#7      B
Caught at the border as I made my escape

       Em           G              Cmaj7           B7
It was cold, it was dark, you were cruel, you were fake

Am7        G               F#7        B
Hoping for kindness was my greatest mistake
[Interlude] Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 [Verse 2]
      Em                 Am7       D7
I was young then, hadn't made my mistake

          Gmaj7         Em       Am7          D7
There was choice to get out or remain in this state

          Bm7            E7            Am7       D7
There was springtime and future 'til I made my mistake
[Chorus 2]
Em           G            Cmaj7          B7
Quick in the night as the storm took its shape

Am7           G           F#7      B
Caught at the border as I made my escape

       Em           G           Cmaj7       B7
It was cold, it was dark, I was foolish and lame

Am7        G               F#7        B
Hoping for kindness was my greatest mistake
[Outro] Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7
