[Verse]
E
..i’m sitting in the parking lot
for the second time today,
G
i’m thinking if i run away
D E
i could change my name to one that feels like mine
we listen to the same four songs
G
this town is closing in on me
sometimes i forget to breathe,
D E
not sure if its subconsciously, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
and you like to say
that you got it figured out,
G
but i don’t know
D
no, i don’t know
E
where the hell i’m gonna go
and i’m aware that you found a place to hide,
G
but i don’t know
D E
no, i don’t know how to make it out alive
[Chorus]
E
..and oh, oh
G
august is a fever
’cause we’re too
D E
hot and cold and homesick all the time
and oh, oh
G
i don’t wanna leave ya
D E
so i’ll pack my things and leave myself behind
[Verse]
E
there’s always too much time to kill
G
i never pull the trigger like i plan
we wait until the moon is high
D
then cross that line,
E
electric while we can
you like to fill your lungs with
smoke
G
i feel like i’m just stuck between your teeth
poison spilling down my throat,
D E
but new york’s underwater in a week
[Pre-Chorus]
and you like to say
that you got it figured out,
G
but i don’t know
D
no, i don’t know
E
where the hell i’m gonna go
[Chorus]
E
..and oh, oh
G
august is a fever
’cause we’re too
D E
hot and cold and homesick all the time
and oh, oh
G
i don’t wanna leave ya
D E
so i’ll pack my things and leave myself behind
[Bridge]
E
..the party’s burning down the house
G
we’re drowning in your parents’ pool
i think you’re tryna smoke me out
D
who let me think you’re so cool, and
E
..the party’s burning down the house
G
we’re drowning in your parents’ pool
i think you’re tryna smoke me out,
D
who let me think
you’re so ******’ cool?
[Chorus]
E
..and oh, oh
G
august is a fever
’cause we’re too
D E
hot and cold and homesick all the time
and oh, oh
G
i don’t wanna leave ya
D E
so i’ll pack my things and leave myself behind
E
..and oh, oh
G
august is a fever
’cause we’re too
D E
hot and cold and homesick all the time
and oh, oh
G
i don’t wanna leave ya
D E
so i’ll pack my things and leave myself behind
