[Verse]
F5
Cruel summer like no other
F5
I thought you'd throw the first punch by now
F5
I need water, we need water
F5
I need something just to wash this down with

[Verse 2]
F5
Open the shutters, to let the light out
F5
Painting by numbers and it's going south
F5
I need thunder, we need thunder
F5
I need something for my summer drought

[Chorus]
Fm
Shake it off, shake it off
F
Don't let that big idea go to waste now!
Fm
Shake it off, shake it off
F
Come on, come on, there's no time to waste now!

[Verse 3]
F5
Cruel summer for cruel lovers
F5
This bodega's got a club in the basement
F5
I need water, we need water
F5
We share a taxi with the local native

[Verse 4]
F6
Waiting on the paycheck, playing on a big scene
F5
Not everything I think comes out of my mouth
F5
I need another, I need another
F5
Just gimme something for my summer drought!

[Chorus]
Fm
Put it off, put off
F
Can't be tomorrow what we can today
Fm
Put it off, put off
F
I got the needle and the record says

[Verse 5]
F5
Cool summer for fools somewhere
F5
Double down while the market's hot
F5
I need contact, I need contact
F5
Undercovers on the edge of the block

[Verse 6]
F6
Waiting on the big check, playing on a big set
F5
Not everything I've done comes out of mouth
F5
I need another, I need another
F5
Just give me something for my summer drought!

[Chorus]
Fm
Put it off, put off
F
Can't be tomorrow what we can today
Fm
Put it off, put off
F
I got the needle and the record says
