[Intro]
 
E                                          A
                                   That summer feeling
E                                          A
That summer feeling                That summer feeling
 
-Folks!
 
[Verse]
 
              E                             A
When there's things to do not because you gotta
              E                             A
When you run for love not because you oughtta
              E                             A
When you trust your friends with no reason ta nada
     E/G#                         B
This joy I've named shall not be tamed
       F#m                       A         B
that summer feeling is gonna haunt you the rest of your life.
 
[Chorus]
E                                          A
That summer feeling                That summer feeling
E                                          A
That summer feeling                That summer feeling
 
 
[Verse]
              E                             A
When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it
              E                             A
When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it
              E                             A
When the teenage car gets the cop down on it
     E/G#                         B
That time is here for one more year
       F#m                       A         B
that summer feeling's gonna haunt you The rest of your life.
 
 
[Chorus]
E                                          A
That summer feeling                That summer feeling
E                                          A
That summer feeling                That summer feeling
 
 
[Verse]
E                                          A
If you've forgotten what I'm naming
     E/G#                         B
You're gonna long to reclaim it one day
       F#m                               A         B
you see that summer feeling is gonna haunt you, the rest of your life.
 
 
              E                             A
but if you wait until your older
     E/G#                         B
A sad resentment will smoulder one day
       F#m                           B
And Then the summer feeling will come haunt you
       F#m                           B
And that summer feeling will come taunt you
       F#m                 A         B
that summer feeling will hurt you later in your life.
 
 
[Chorus]
E                                          A
That summer feeling                That summer feeling
E                                          A
That summer feeling                That summer feeling
 
[Verse]
E                                          A
when the playground that just was all dirt, comes hauntin
E                                          A
and someone who called you a flirt, comes tauntin
E                                          A
it's not that these things alone, were appealin
     E/G#                         B
what I now revealin is a certain feelin
       F#m                     A              B
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you, the rest of your life.
 
[Chorus]
E                                          A
That summer feeling                That summer feeling
E                                          A
That summer feeling                That summer feeling
 
[Interlude] (No guitar on this verse)
N.C
When the Oldsmobile has got the top down on it
When the catamaran has got the drop down on it
When the flat of the land has got the crop down on it
what I now proclaim is sortta hard to name
 
       F#m                       A                   B
But that summer feeling is gonna haunt you, for the rest of your life.
 
[Chorus]
E                                          A
That summer feeling                That summer feeling
E                                          A
That summer feeling                That summer feeling
 
[Verse]
E                                          A
When even fourth grade starts looking good, Which you hated,
E                                          A
And first grade's looking good too, Overrated,
E                                          A
And you boys long for some little girl, That you dated
     E/G#                         B
Do you long for her of for the way you were,
       F#m                     A              B
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you, the rest of your life.
 
[Outro]
E                        A
It's gonna haunt you
E                        A
It's gonna taunt you
