The Rocket Summer - Tv Family .written by Bryce Avery
Tabbed By Paul Welsford
This song totally rules! good song to play and sing to to impress around people who
don't kno much about The Rocket Summer. and there are too many people who dont kno about them
here in merry old england.
Well here it is. This is how i play it and it doesnt sound too far off.

BRIDGE
but when i hate everything about the mean things that i say
it feels like i mess up so much and i can only say
"i hate everything about my ways"
but you tell me im OK
and one day, one day i know you'll say, you'll say
CHORUS
"B im so glad you made it"
"oh well Jesus thank you so much for saying that"
because the truth you know is that i have just been
hating so many things i do
but now i realize forever that you're my friend
no matter what you will never leave me to fend
i don't know much but i know we will be
