E            C#m
Summer was a killer
E                      C#m
Between our  heart and minds
E          C#m
Everyday a drama
         A           B 
Dragging in  quarter time
E             C#m
Summer it was over
E                 C#m
I couldn't see it thru
E             C#m
Trying not to lose my mind
      A             B
While I was leaving you
    C#m                A
Our friends are in the halfway house
C#m               A
Your still on the mend
C#m               A
Dont know if I've changed at all
           B                   
But I'm in love with you again
C#m              A
We're all in the halfway house
C#m             A
So it sometimes seems
C#m                 A
Trying to find the truth inside
           B                      E  C#m  E  C#m
Instead of getting by on dreams
E              C#m
Summer we were blinded
E                   C#m 
Thought it couldn't last
E                C#m
Crying about the future
A                  B
Fighting about the past
E             C#m
Summer was no bargin
E           C#m
Look at us today
E                C#m            A               B
Running from the memomry of the price we had to pay
    C#m                A
Our friends are in the halfway house
C#m               A
Your still on the mend
C#m               A
Dont know if I've changed at all
           B                   
But I'm in love with you again
C#m              A
We're all in the halfway house
C#m             A
So it sometimes seems
C#m                 A
Trying to find the truth inside
           B                      
Instead of getting by on dreams

SOLO

C#m              A
We're all in the halfway house
C#m             A
So it sometimes seems
C#m                 A
Trying to find the truth inside
           B                      
Instead of getting by on dreams
C#m              A
We're all in the halfway house
C#m            A
Guess I always knew
C#m               A
You could give up on yourself
            B                        E  C#m  E  
But I could not give up on you
C#m           A
Living in the halfway house
C#m           A
Living in the halfway house
C#m           A                 E
Living in the halfway house
