Intro:
G

 (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)


Verse 1:
C        D
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
  Bm            Em
You know that I caught it (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)
C       D
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
  Bm            Em
You know that I bought it (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)


Pre-Chorus 1:
      C        D
Killing me slow, out the window
          Bm           Em
I’m always waiting for you to be waiting below
        C
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
       D
What doesn’t kill me makes me want you more


Chorus 1:
     G
And it’s new, the shape of your body
   Bm
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
     Em
And it’s ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C
It’s a cruel summer

   G
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
  Bm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
  Em
But ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C         G
It’s a cruel summer, with you


Verse 2:
C         D               Bm
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine
          Em
I’m not buying (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)
  C          D              Bm
You say that we’ll just screw it up in these trying times
           Em
We’re not trying (oh yeah, you’re right, I want it)


Pre-Chorus 2:
        C        D
So cut the headlights, summer’s a knife
          Bm          Em
I’m always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
        C
Devils roll the dice (dice), angels roll their eyes (eyes)
     D
And if I bleed, you’ll be the last to know


Chorus 2:
    G
Oh it’s new, the shape of your body
   Bm
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
     Em
And it’s ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C
It’s a cruel summer

   G
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
  Bm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
  Em
But ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C         (G)
It’s a cruel summer, with you


Bridge:
G
 I’m drunk in the back of the car
   Bm
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
Em
  Said I’m fine, but it wasn’t true
    C
I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you

  G
And I snuck in through the garden gate
   Bm
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
Em
  And I screamed for whatever it’s worth
  C                       N.C.
“I love you,” ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?

He looks up, grinning like a devil


Chorus 3:
   G
It’s new, the shape of your body
   Bm
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
     Em
And it’s ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C
It’s a cruel summer

   G
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
  Bm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
  Em
But ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh
    C         (G)
It’s a cruel summer, with you
