Sanity For Summer

City Mouth


Tom: B

           B
Gave up my sanity for a summer
           Abm
This isn't me, I was always a runner
           E
Ankles are sprained, I won't get far
          Gb
Crying to Julian Baker songs in my car
N.C.
Things just got dark


[Instrumental]

B  Abm  E  Gb


[Verse 1]
B                                     Abm
Long days, like heavy metal hung from clotheslines
        E
But I'm glad we talked last night
             Gb
It's nice to understand it all from both sides
B                               Abm
I'll be honest, I wish you were still here
        E                               Gb
I'll admit it's nice to have someone to share in the daily fears


[Pre-chorus]
            B
But I don't like, no, I don't like
             Abm
Feeling this close to anyone
            E
But I don't like, no, I don't like
              Gb
Staring at my phone wondering what I did wrong


[Chorus]
                 B
But I gave up my sanity for a summer
           Abm
This isn't me, I was always a runner
           E
Ankles are sprained, I won't get far
          Gb
Crying to Julian Baker songs in my car


[Verse 2]
            B
Felt like I couldn't breathe as I laid there
               Abm
It's fine with me sleeping next to your short hair
             E
Tangled with mine, but it felt worth it
              Gb
In a dusty garage I tried to look past the surface


[Pre-Chorus]
            B
But I don't like, no, I don't like
             Abm
Feeling this close to anyone
            E
But I don't like, no, I don't like
              Gb
Staring at my phone wondering what I did wrong


[Chorus]
           B
Gave up my sanity for a summer
           Abm
This isn't me, I was always a runner
           E
Ankles are sprained, I won't get far
          Gb
Crying to Julian Baker songs in my car
                B
Things just got dark


[Instrumental]
B  Abm  E  Gb

B Abm


[Bridge]
          B*               Abm*
Sooner or later, I'm gonna wake up
                E*                          Gb*
And feel like I used all the strength of my heart up
              B*                    Abm*
When I try to act like everything's okay
               E*                         Gb*
And now I just wonder if that drove you away
                         B
When you can't find your footing
                          Abm
You think that I can't relate
             E
But there's just so much that we didn't say
    Gb
But either way, we both got lost in our
B*              Abm                   E             Gb
Long days, like heavy metal hung from clotheslines


[Chorus]
           B
Gave up my sanity for a summer
           Abm
This isn't me, I was always a runner
           E
Ankles are sprained, I won't get far
          Gb
Crying to Julian Baker songs in my car
            B
I won't get far


[Outro]
            Abm
I won't get far
            E
Ankles are sprained, I won't get far
          Gb
Crying to Julian Baker songs in my car
                B
Things just got dark
