That summer feeling
[Verse 1]

When there's things to do not because you gotta

The joy I name shall not be tamed

One day in your life.
[Verse 2]

When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it

When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it

When the teenage car gets the cop down on it

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.
[Outro]

That summer feeling That summer feeling

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,

And you boys long for some little girl
That you dated

That summer feeling That summer feeling
A D
That summer feeling
A D
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.
A D
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

When the playground that just was all dirt
Comes haunting.

Memory comes taunting
