[Verse 1]
CWoke up at eight, started the fire
Ghad a few drinks, we all felt inspired
Amjumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens
Fthe water was bitter cold
CLaid in the raft till it started moving
Gthe current just sang, the song was so soothing
Amwe stopped along the Fway
Amon a beach in the sun, on a Fbeautiful day
[Chorus]
   AmOur Fboats colClide, we'd Amadd4feel the Fbreeze
We'd Amstay aFfloat and Cmake the Amadd4most of Feverything
[Verse 2]
CBy noon we had swung the ropes in the woods
Gmissed all danger, snakes, and the floods
Amburnt by the rays and next to our legs,
Fthe water so bitter cold
CLunch had been saved along with the lighters
Gwet cigarettes serve us as reminders
Amnever trust a Fman with the Amfood, change of clothes, and a Fdrink in his hand
[Chorus]
   AmOur Fboats colClide, we'd Amadd4feel the Fbreeze
We'd Amstay aFfloat and Cmake the Amadd4most of Feverything
The Amsun would Fset, the Cstars would Amadd4shine
the Amtrees would Fshake, we'd Call feel Amadd4fine
Let's Amtake the Fmoon and Cmake it Amadd4shine for Feveryone
[Bridge]
GWe laughed away the sunburn
Fas we laughed away the Cday
GWhat we lost means nothing
Dm/Ffor the memories will stay...
[Verse 3]
CCaught the last bus with no time to linger
Gthe driver seemed to be missing a finger
AmI turned and looked Faway to the Ambus, gravel road and a Fbeautiful day
[Chorus]
   AmOur Fboats colClide, we'd Amadd4feel the Fbreeze
We'd Amstay aFfloat and Cmake the Amadd4most of Feverything
The Amsun would Fset, the Cstars would Amadd4shine
the Amtrees would Fshake, we'd Call feel Amadd4fine
Let's Amtake the Fmoon and Cmake it Amadd4shine for Feveryone
Let's Amtake the Fmoon and Cmake it Amadd4shine for Feveryone

[Verse 1]

Woke up at eight, started the fire

had a few drinks, we all felt inspired

jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens

the water was bitter cold

Laid in the raft till it started moving

the current just sang, the song was so soothing

Am F

we stopped along the way

Am F

on a beach in the sun, on a beautiful day

[Chorus]

Am F C Amadd4 F

Our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze

Am F C Amadd4 F

We'd stay afloat and make the most of everything

[Verse 2]

By noon we had swung the ropes in the woods

missed all danger, snakes, and the floods

burnt by the rays and next to our legs,

the water so bitter cold

Lunch had been saved along with the lighters

wet cigarettes serve us as reminders

Am F Am F

never trust a man with the food, change of clothes, and a drink in his hand

[Chorus]

Am F C Amadd4 F

Our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze

Am F C Amadd4 F

We'd stay afloat and make the most of everything

Am F C Amadd4

The sun would set, the stars would shine

Am F C Amadd4

the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine

Am F C Amadd4 F

Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone

[Bridge]

We laughed away the sunburn

F C

as we laughed away the day

What we lost means nothing

Dm/F

for the memories will stay...

[Verse 3]

Caught the last bus with no time to linger

the driver seemed to be missing a finger

Am F Am F

I turned and looked away to the bus, gravel road and a beautiful day

[Chorus]

Am F C Amadd4 F

Our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze

Am F C Amadd4 F

We'd stay afloat and make the most of everything

Am F C Amadd4

The sun would set, the stars would shine

Am F C Amadd4

the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine

Am F C Amadd4 F

Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone

Am F C Amadd4 F

Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
