This is the chords of Home For The Summer by Sara Kays on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
E
We started getting close
C#m
Freshman year, when all our 
friends were smoking cigarettes
        A
And we couldn't stand that 
secondhand smoke
        B
So we'd leave and drive around
 until you had to drop me off at home
E
Swear that was yesterday
     C#m
But in two weeks I'd be moving south
                                  A
And you'd be moving to a town that 
I had never heard of
                     B
I wish we had more time, why did
 I ever wanna grow up?

[Chorus]
A               B
You said you'll see me
           E
When we're home for the summer
                 C#m
We won't have to work so we're gonna
            A
Do whatever the hell we wanna
                    B
'Cause we know that one day we'll be
                    E
Gone from each other

[Verse 2]
E
We'd wait till after dark
C#m
2 AM, we're laying on the ground 
in my backyard
  A
I told you I'd be waiting there
 the night that I get back
  B
I hope you don't forget about that

We'll have lives in two different suburbs
                                   A
We'll have families with different lovers
                          B

How to play Home For The Summer: key, chords and progression

Home For The Summer by Sara Kays sits in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: E, C#m, A and B.

Most of the song cycles through E – C#m – A – B (I – vi – IV – V in E major), the classic 1950s “doo-wop” progression. In solfa, that is doh – lah – fah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, Bm, G, A (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
