[Intro]
G G G G G G G G
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
C C D D
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
Bm Bm Em Em
You know that I caught it
C C D D
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
Bm Bm Em Em
You know that I bought it

[Pre-Chorus]
C C D D
Killing me slow, out the window
Bm Bm Em Em
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
C C C C
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
D D D D
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more

[Chorus]
G G
And it's new, the shape of your body
Bm Bm
It's blue, the feeling I've got
Em Em
And it's ooh, whoa oh
C C
It's a cruel summer
G G
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
Bm Bm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
Em Em
But ooh, whoa oh
C C
It's a cruel summer
G G
With you

[Verse 2]
C C D D Bm Bm
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine
Em Em
I'm not buying
C C D D Bm Bm
You say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
Em Em
We're not trying

[Pre-Chorus 2]
C C D D
So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
Bm Bm Em Em
I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
C C C C
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
D D D D
And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know

[Chorus]
G G
And it's new, the shape of your body
Bm Bm
It's blue, the feeling I've got
Em Em
And it's ooh, whoa oh
C C
It's a cruel summer
G G
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
Bm Bm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
Em Em
But ooh, whoa oh
C C
It's a cruel summer
G G -
With you

[Bridge]
G G
I'm drunk in the back of the car
Bm Bm
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (Oh)
Em Em
Said I'm fine, but it wasn't true
C C
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
G G
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Bm Bm Em Em
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)

And I screamed for whatever it's worth
C C PAUSE
"I love you," ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?

He looks so pretty like a devil

[Chorus]
G G
And it's new, the shape of your body
Bm Bm
It's blue, the feeling I've got
Em Em
And it's ooh, whoa oh
C C
It's a cruel summer
G G
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
Bm Bm
No rules, unbreakable heaven
Em Em
But ooh, whoa oh
C C
It's a cruel summer
G G -
With you

[Outro]
G G
I'm drunk in the back of the car
Bm Bm
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (Oh)
Em Em
Said I'm fine, but it wasn't true
C C
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
G G
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Bm Bm Em Em
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)

And I screamed for whatever it's worth
C C PAUSE G G G G
"I love you," ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?

I don't have a capo, sadly. in some parts you can play D instead of Bm. It still sounds decent.
