Intro:

C#m E Amaj7

Verse 1:
     C#m    E          Amaj7
Do you remember?   laying on the sidwalk
         C#m   E            Amaj7
waiting for your mama   to ring the dinner bell?

Verse 2:
    C#m   E              Amaj7
It was summer    in the year of the cicadas
         C#m   E        Amaj7
nothing seemed to matter atop our little hill

Bridge:
        C#m      E        Amaj7
Until we rolled down down down down
        C#m      E        Amaj7
until we rolled  down

Verse 3:
     C#m      E                Amaj7
And I was with you    that night they found your brother
     C#m       E        Amaj7
His body trembling and yours a helpless shell

Verse 4:
     C#m    E               Amaj7
and our cicadas     were drown by all the sirens
        C#m       E        Amaj7
that month you stayed by his bedside until he got well
        C#m       E        Amaj7
until he got well

Bridge:
B      A     Amaj7
 And I watched as you grew
      C#m
into that woman you had always wanted to
     E                    Amaj7
nothing standing in your way could ever slow you down
      F#m           C#m            A
and you'd wait for the day our cicadas would come back to stay
     E           Amaj7
but you know that aint how it works
     C#m           Amaj7
love aint real unless losing it hurts
