That summer feeling

[Verse 1]
                  A              D
When there's things to do not because you gotta
         A                   D
When you run for love not because you oughtta
           A                          D
When you trust your friends with no reason not to
     A                E
The joy I name shall not be tamed
         Bm                      D

When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it
           A                          D
When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it
              A                 D
When the teenage car gets the cop down on it
    A                 E
The time is here for one more year
             Bm                    D
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
    E            A        D     A     D
One day in your life.

That summer feeling
           A                 D
And if you wait until your older
       A                          E
A sad resentment will smoulder one day
               Bm                     D
And then that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
          Bm                     D
And that summer feeling's gonna taunt you
               Bm                     D
And then that summer feeling is gonna hurt you
    E                   A            D   A   D
One day in your life.
          A                           D
When even fourth grade starts looking good

Which you hated,
     A                         D
And first grade's looking good too,

Overrated,
        A                          D
And you boys long for some little girl

That you dated
       A                          E
Do you long for her of for the way you were,
           Bm                     D
But that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
    E            A        D     A     D
One day in your life.

When the Oldsmobile has got the top down on it
          A                    D
When the catamaran has got the drop down on it
          A                            D
When the flat of the land has got the crop down on it
            A                               E
Some things were good before and some things never were
           Bm                     D
But that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
    E            A        D     A     D
One day in your life.

When your friends are in town and they've got time for you
               D                        D
You were never hanging around and they didn't ignore you
         A                          D
You can say what you will and they still adore you
         A                         E

     D
And one more thing...


             A                                D
When you're hanging around the park with the water fountain
                 A
And there's the girl with the dirty ankles
            D                             A
And you remember the way she flirted with you

You'll throw away everything for it.
        A                        D
You'll throw away everything for it.

One more thing...


         A                              D
When the playground that just was all dirt

Comes haunting.

And that little girl that called you a flirt
         D
Memory comes taunting
       A                               D
You can pick these things apart they're not that appealing
       A                                      E
But you put them together and you'll get this certain feeling

          A
One more time.
