[Verse 1]
C5
Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
C6/A
in lower Chelsea, and I don't know what I'm doing in this city
Gsus4
The sun is always in my eyes
F5
It crashes through the windows, and I'm sleeping on the couch
C5
When I came to visit you
C6/A
That's when I knew that I could never have you
Gsus4
I knew that before you did
F5
Still I'm the one who's stupid
[Chorus]
C5
And there's this burning
C6/A
Like there's always been
Gsus4
I've never been so alone
F5
And I've never been so alive

[Verse 2]
C/G
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by
Am7
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes and you don't mind
G6 Fmaj7
You smile and say the world,
C/G
it doesn't fit with you, I don't believe you, you're so serene
Am7
Careening through the universe
G6
Your axis on a tilt
Fmaj7
You're guiltless and free
C5
I hope you take a piece of me with you
[Chorus]
C5
And there are things I'd like to do
C6/A
That you don't believe in
Gsus4
I'd like to build something
F5
But you will never see it happen
C5
And there's this burning
C6/A
Like there's always been
Gsus4
I've never been so alone
F5
And I've never been so alive
[Bridge]
C5 C6/A Gsus4 F5
Gsus4
And there's this burning, uh huh,
F5
Yeah there's this burning, yeah yeah yeah!
[Instrumental]
C/G Amaj7 G6 Fmaj7
[Verse 3]
C/G
Where's the soul? I wanna know
Amaj7
New York City's evil, the surface is everything
G6
But I could never do that
F
Someone would see through that
C/G
And this is the last time
Amaj7
We'll be friends again
G6
I'll get over you
F
You'll wonder who I am
[Chorus]
C/G
And there's this burning
Amaj7
Just like there's always been
G6
I've never been so alone, alone,
F C/G
And I've, I've, never been so alive!
[Verse 4]
C5
I go home to the coast, it starts to rain
C6/A
I paddle out on the water, alone
Gsus4
Taste the salt, taste the pain
F5
I'm not thinking of you again
C5
Summer dies and swells rise
C6/A
The sun goes down in my eyes, see this rolling wave
Gsus4
Darkly
F5
Coming to take me home
[Outro]
Cmaj7
And I've never been so alone
Fmaj7
And I've never been so alive
