   D#m         F#
A lazy rain am I
     C#          G#   D#m
The skies refuse to cry
    G#m              D#m              F# C#
Cremation takes its piece of your supply
     D#m                   F#
The night is dressed like noon
   C#      G#       D#m
A sailor spoke too soon
     G#m            D#m             F#  C#
And China's on the dark side of the moon
(Hear me now)

Platypus are a few, the secret life of Roo
A personality I never knew (Get it on)
My Greta weighs a ton, the archers on the run
And no one stands alone behind the sun

Chorus:
      B           F#           C#          D#
It's been a long time since I made a new friend
 F#          G#           D#
Waitin' on another black summer to end
      B           F#           C#         D#
It's been a long time and you never know when
 C#          G#           D#
Waitin' on another black summer to end

Crack the flaming whip,
a-sailin' on a censorship
Riding on a headless horse to make the trip

Chorus:
Been a long time since I made a new friend
Waitin' on another black summer to end
It's been a long time and you never know when
Waitin' on another black summer to end

           G#m                D#m
I've been waitin', I've been waitin'
 C#                       G#
Waitin' on another black summer to end
           D#m                F#
I've been waitin', I've been waitin'
 C#                       D#m
Waitin' on another black summer to end
           G#m                D#m
I've been waitin', I've been waitin'
 C#                                  G# D#m
Waitin' on another black summer to end
