[Intro]
| E B/E | A/E E | 
| E B/E | A/E E |

[Verse 1]
E               B/E             A/E    E
 There's no way out and there's no way back
E           B/E       A/E       E
 Sailing forever out along your path
E              B/D#    A/C#     G#m
 Some troubles dare to lose you sleep
A                            G  D   E      | G D  E   |
 I started thinkin' that I'm in too deep

[Verse 2]
E              B/E       A/E          E
 The wheels of life will stretch your face
E            B/E      A/E   E
 Squeeze you flat without a trace
         E        G#m            A          G#m
But when I was in trouble I never heard you speak
A                            G  D   E      | G D  E   |
 I got the message that I'm in too deep

[Chorus]
         G#m
Blows my mind
Bm             F#m
Melting in the sun (su-u-un)
E         G#m
Starts to shine (shi-ine)
     Bm            F#
Then suddenly it's gone
Am             B      D
Melting in the su-u-u-un

[Verse 3]
E              B/E              A/E    E
 Stayed up and wondered what was goin' on
E            B/E           A/E        E
 Shifted and pissed up and silent and gone
E            B/D#          A/C#         G#m
 Reasons for promises that no one could keep
A                          G  D   E      | G D  E   |
 I got the picture and I'm in too deep

[Chorus]
         G#m
Blows my mind
Bm             F#m
Melting in the sun (su-u-un)
E         G#m
Starts to shine (shi-ine)
     Bm            F#
Then suddenly it's gone
Am             B     | D | % |
Melting in the su-u-u-un

[Solo]
| E B/E | A/E E | 
| E B/E | A/E E | 
| E G#m | A G#m |
| A | G D  E   | G D  E   |

[Verse 4]
E               B/E           A/E    E
 There's no way out, the only way is in
E             B/E                A/E                 E
 Don't matter who you are, don't matter where you've been
E                 G#m             A          G#m
 You can buy your freedom, but it don't come cheap
A                           G  D   E      | G D  E   | E |
 No doubt about it, now I'm in too deep

[Chorus]
         G#m
Blows my mind
Bm             F#m
Melting in the sun (su-u-un)
E         G#m
Starts to shine (shi-ine)
     Bm            F#
Then suddenly it's gone
Am             B     | D | % | % | A |
Melting in the su-u-u-un  - yeah ...

[Outro]
      G  D    E 
Suddenly it's gone
        G  D   E 
Melting in the sun
      G  D    E 
Suddenly it's gone
        G  D   E 
Melting in the sun
