Intro 

                    G 
I promised you I'm never giving up 

Never giving up, never giving up 
       D 
I won't give in 
                 G 
But now that my body's giving up 
                                                                D 
My legs are giving out my head is throwing up its hands, it's asking 
                     Em 
Can we wait for the summer again? 
                      G 
Can we hold out for summer again? 
        Em       D 
Can we ever be whole again? 


Bridge 
G                 C  G 
It's how we start over (starting over) 
Em                 G                 C G 
It's how we start, it's how we start over 
G                 C G 
It's how we start over (starting over) 
Em                 G                 C G 
It's how we start, it's how we start over 


verse 1 
Em      D         G           D 
My old house, my childhood's tomb 
          Em      C                 G         D 
It is a failing light, but it will come back soon 
Em        D         G       D 
A candle burns in your old room 
           Em       C              G         D 
And before it goes out, I swear I will find you 


verse 2 
    Em      D    G      D 
My little sister I was two 
              Em        C                  G     D 
The year that you were born, and Ben came after you 
   Em          D      G     D 
We all three shared gentle youth 
             Em        C                  G          D 
Our mother combed our hair, our father cleaned our wounds 


verse 3 
        Em            D         G        D 
Then a small thing happened or sunk its tooth 
           Em    C                    G         D 
And I was left behind, in different shapes you move 
         Em        D            G       D 
In my peripheral sight I reach out for you 
            Em      C               G    D 
But when I turn my head I'm in an empty room 


verse 4 
     Em      D          G      D 
A faceless clock, the hands unmoved 
            Em      C        G        D 
But for a layer of dust, a cobweb or two 
       Em      D              G      D 
In a broken mirror I see my broken truths 
            Em      C                G          D 
Now when I comb my hair, I pull the gray ones loose 


Verse 5 
Em       D         G         D 
My old house my childhood's tomb 
          Em      C                 G         D 
It is a failing light, but it will come back soon 
          Em      D         G       D 
In the backyard, birds, a dogwood blooms 
        Em        C            G        D 
I will come back home, I will wait for you 


Outro 
                      Em                   G 
I will wait for the summer (wait for the summer) 
                      C                    G 
I will hold out for summer (hold out for summer) 
                      Em                   G 
I will wait for the summer (wait for the summer) 
                       C                   G 
I will hold out for summer (hold out for summer) 
                          Em 
I will wait, there's a promised land 
     G           C                 D    G 
In every man's heart, there is a summer
