[Intro]
B E B


[Verse 1]
B
  Going deaf from
your empty threats
G#m
   You can shout it
                   E
from roof tops all day
                             Em
If that's how you want it now
B
  Amplified three stories
    G#m
tall   cause you know
                            E
That's the highest place in town
                             Em
If that's how you want it now


[Verse 2]
B
  Confessing to these
empty streets
G#m
   Summertime brings
                E
ghosts to Carbondale
                         Em
That's how we want it now
B
  Heat kills all pathetic words
G#m
   This town is dead but life
     F#                  E
goes on Even when you're gone


[Refrain 1]
        F#
Note to self Try to hang
 E
around a little more
    E
Be around a little more
            B
Be seen not heard
          F#
A note to you
Try to let your
E
guard down some
        E
Take it easy some
               F#
we know you're here


[Chorus 1]
B
  How long will the summer
    C B                        C
last   Under a magnifying glass
B                         C
  Ask you to help us along
B
  When we can't make
                 C
it through a song


[Verse 3]
B
  Getting bored of these
             G#m
empty streets   I can sleep
               E
all night on 51 That's
                     Em
not how I want it now
B
  Heat kills all pathetic
      G#m
dreams   Our hopes shot down
              F#
But life goes on even
            E
when you're gone


[Refrain 2]
        F#
Note to self Try to hang
 E
around a little more
    E
Be around a little more
            B
Be seen not heard
          F#
A note to you
Try to let your
E
guard down some
        E
Take it easy some
               F#
we know you're here


[Chorus 2]
B
  How long will the summer
    C B                        C
last   Under a magnifying glass
B                         C
  Ask you to help us along
B
  When we can't make
                 C
it through a song


[Bridge]
E                                C
  And you know you're getting old
B                                 C
  When you're wishing for the cold
E
  And you start missing all your
     C B
peers   You didn't like
                   C
when they were here


[Outro]
E
  How long will the
           F#
summer last  Under
             B
a magnifying glass
