[Verse 1]
G
There's something in the air
Am
The girls are runnin'
G
'round in summer dresses
Em
With their masks off
Bm C
and it makes me so happy
G
Larchmont Village smells like
C G
lilies of the valley
Bm D
And the bookstore doors are opening
C D
And it's finally happening
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C Am
Ever since I fell out of love with you
D G
I fell back in love with me
Am D
And, boy, does it feel sweet
Like a summer breeze
C Am
Ever since I fell out of love with you
D G
I fell back in love with the city
Am7
Like thе Paramount sign sparkling
B7 Em Em D
Sparkling just for me
[Chorus]
G Am Em
You made me tradе my violets for roses
G B7 C G
You tried to trade in my new truck for horses
C
Don't forget all of these things
Bm Am
that you love are the same things I hate
C D Em
A simple life, I chose this
G Am Em
You made me trade my violets for roses
G B7 C
You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and
G C Bm Am
God knows the only mistake that a man can make
B7
Is tryna make a woman change
C
and trade her violets for roses
[Post-Chorus 1]
G D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
B7 C
Trade her violets for roses
G D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
[Verse 2]
G
There's something in the air
Am G
I hope it doesn't change, that it's for real
Em Bm C
The beginning of something big happening
G
And by the murder alleys
C G
In the streets have ceased
Bm D
And still the shadows haunt the avenue
C D
The silence is deafening
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
Ever since I fell out of love with you
D G
I fell back in love with the streets
Am D
And, God, does it feel sweet
Like a summer breeze
C Am
Ever since I fell out of love with you
D G
I breakdance to the backbeat
Am7
And, God, does it sound sweet
B7 Em Em D
Like it's playing just for me
[Chorus]
G Am Em
You made me trade my violets for roses
G B7 C G
You tried to trade in my new truck for horses
C
Don't forget all of these things
Bm Am
that you love are the same things I hate
C D Em
A simple life, I chose this
G Am Em
You made me trade my violets for roses
G B7 C
You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and
G C Bm Am
God knows the only mistake that a man can make
B7
Is tryin' to make a woman change
C
and trade her violets for roses
[Post-Chorus]
G D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
B7 C
Trade her violets for roses
G D
Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
B7 C
Trade her violets for roses
G D
(Ah-la-ha, ah-ha)
[Outro]
G
There's something in the air

The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses

With their masks off and it makes me so happy
