[Verse 1]
B                   A
  I hate the winter, can't stand the cold
  E                      B
I tend to cancel all the plans (so sorry, I can't make it)
B                         A
  But when the heat comes, something takes a hold
      E                B
Can I kick it? Yeah, I can
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]

My cheeks in high colour, overripe peaches
A
  No shirt, no shoes, only my features
E                                      B
My boy behind me, he's taking pictures
 
B
Lead the boys and girls onto the beaches
A
  Come one, come all, I'll tell you my secrets
E                               B
I'm kinda like a prettier Jesus

                      A
Ahh ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah ahh
                   E
Forget all of thе tears that you've cried
      B
It's ovеr (over, over)
 
                      A
Ahh ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah ahh
                     E
It's a new state of mind
                         B
Are you comin', my baby?

The girls are dancing in the sand
      B                               A
And I throw my cellular device in the water
        E                 B
Can you reach me? No, you can't (ah-uh)

[Chorus 2]
                      A
Ahh ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah ahh
                 E
Turn it on in a new kind of bright
      B
It's solar (solar, solar)
 
                      A
Ahh ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah ahh
                            E
