Penelope Scott - Halloween in July: chords

18+
                Am
Well, there's a lot of trees in the woods
        G                   F
Maybe among them there's a pair of wild wide eyes
D#          Am
You never cross my path like you should
        G              F
I must miss you almost every time I go outside
             Am
I hear you sharpen your knife
            F
You keep me up at night
              Am
You watch me turn off my lights
         F                             E        Am
What a fright, what a delight on Halloween in July

Chorus:
           F
What a surprise
             Am
Knock on my window
                   F
Did it cross your mind that I might let you inside
         E        Am
On Halloween in July?

"I don't give a fuck if you think
Richard Ramirez is cute​
His breath smelled like ass and he
ate that girl's yogurt after he fuckin' killed her​
He can honestly eat my dick, like fuck that guy"

The sheriff is coming, the sheriff is here
He drives his car up and down my street
The neighbors don't call on authority for much
'round here
Certainly not the rustling leaves
But she made an exception 'cause she had a suspicion
That something in the forest was wrong
So he checked on up on us, checked on the chickens
He got back in the car and he drove along
Halloween in July

 Em                  F
(Did it cross your mind that I might let you inside
        E          F
On Halloween in July?)

"I'm not scared of him
Not fucking scared, no, I'm not fucking scared
Absolutely not, what are you gonna do?
You gonna stay with me in a parking garage?
Fuck you all, you should be scared of me"

       Am
It's hit on the highway with my windows down
         F
Blaring music while I floor it and swerve
               Am
And you could get me right then if you
wanted an end
         F
But you don't seem to have the nerve
            C                           E
Maybe it's not about nerve, it's about how
it gets done
            F
I catch a glimpse of you but when
I look back you're gone
              C                        F
You catch my eye and then you run and hide
         E       Am
On Halloween in July

And there's a lot of trees in the woods
But I can still feel your eyes on me
from way out there
I face the window to change for bed
I face away from you to put up my hair
You strain to hear my breath over
the sound of death
Over the bats that live in my walls
(Oh, I'm so small)
Footsteps down the hall, Halloween in July

What a delight, ask me nicely
Did it cross your mind that I might let you inside
On Halloween in July?
