C#m           B             A             B
Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
  C#m   B  A B
I sit around
C#m         B             A         B      C#m B A B
Trying to smile, but the air is so heavy and dry

Strange voices are saying
(Ah, what did they say?)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand

Chorus:
        C#m      A           B   A
It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
C#m         A         B
Leaving me here on my own
        A            C#m           A    B
It's a cruel,(it's a cruel) cruel summer
            A  C#m
Now you're gone
               A       B
You're not the only one
         A
It's a cruel

The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I gotta get up and go (And go)

Chorus:
It's a cruel (Cruel), cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (It's a cruel), cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one, it's a cruel
Cruel (Cruel), cruel summer
(Leaving me) Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (It's a cruel), cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one, it's a cruel
(Mm-mm)

Now don't you leave me
Mmm, now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Come on, come on
Mmm, now don't you leave me
Mmm, now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Come on, come on

Chorus:
It's a cruel (Cruel), cruel summer (Cruel summer)
Leaving me here on my own
(Leaving me here all alone)
It's a cruel (It's a cruel), cruel summer
(Cruel summer)
You're not the only one, it's a cruel (The only one)
Cruel (Cruel), cruel summer
(Leaving me) Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (It's a cruel), cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one, it's a cruel
It's a cruel (Cruel), cruel summer
It's a cruel summer
It's a cruel (Cruel), cruel summer
It's a cruel summer
