Summer Water

	  		
Intro 
A E7sus4 

verse 1 
A                                      E7sus4 
Sometimes that lake got angry, as the lightnin' went and crashed 
A                              E7sus4 
Sometimes it was so still, it looked like a sheet of glass 
A                                   E7sus4 
But it washed away our beer cans, and it washed away our sins 
A                                         E7sus4 
It talked us out of all our clothes, and begged us to jump in 

A                        D 
There was magic in the summer water 
                        A 
Learned to swim in the summer water 
                     E 
All the small town sons and daughters 
        A                    A7 
Were baptized a thousand times 
                  D 
Built fire by it like an altar 
                   A 
Gave it every song we could offer 
                     E 
Memories float on it like a bobber 
                  A          E7sus4  A  E7sus4 
Out there on the summer water 


verse 2 
A                                              E7sus4 
When a heart was broken, it was better than a church pew sanctuary 
           A                                               E7sus4 
A lot of long kiss, rocks skip, sun drenched orange crush bottle caps got buried 
                            A                                            E7sus4 
It's where you spend your first night with your first love before the mercury starts fallin' 
                         A                                    E7sus4 
It's where you spend the last with your first love, before somebody goes to college 

            A           D 
There was magic in the summer water 
                        A 
Learned to swim in the summer water 
                    E 
All the small town sons and daughters 
        A                     A7 
Were baptized a thousand times 
                  D 
Built fire by it like an altar 
                   A 
Gave it every song we could offer 
                      E 
Memories float on it like a bobber 
                   A 
Out there on the summer water

verse 3 
                                D 
There was somethin' 'bout the summer water 
                    A 
Every girl that's where you brought her 
                             E 
It's where you slipped that ring you bought her 
        A 
On her shakin' hand 
                  D 
Built fire by it like an altar 
                    A 
Gave it every song we could offer 
                      E 
Memories float on it like a bobber 
                   A          E7sus4  A  E7sus4 
Out there on the summer water
