[Verse 1]
N.C.
I was sitting on a Futon Couch
In a far off town where the desert meets the sea
CYou were only wGrapped in a towel when you walDked out
A spare room in my fCriend's houseG  
GOh, I feel I mDet you beEmfore
SComething inGside me is trying to remember a stDoryEm  
COh, I think I've lGoved you, I've loDved you beEmfore
Something is tCugging my sleeve like a Gsecret, whispeDred from the fCuture
Maybe this is CusG, nowD  Em  
Maybe this is CusG  D  
[Chorus]
CHey, hey, wGhadda ya say?
DWanna make history stEmart today?
CHey, boy, wGhadda ya say we jumDp?
EmFrom here

DLeaning against the kiEmtchen sink
'Cause CI see evGerything Dnow
EmSitting on this fuCton coGuchD  Em  
EmSitting on this fuCton coGuchD  Em  
[Verse 2]
CYou were never gonna Gleave that town
Where your fDriends always drop by, unaEmnnounced, for Ctea
Oh, and where the Gpain of the world was swalDlowed
When the sunset wiped you clAmeanG  
GOh, I knew I'd heDard it beEmfore
AmNothing is chGanging
Till everything changes at Donce
COh, I knew I fGelt it, right doDwn to my coEmre
Something was Cwriting itself on the Gwalls of our fuDture hearts
[Chorus]
CHey, hey, wGhadda ya say?

[Verse 1]

N.C.

I was sitting on a Futon Couch

In a far off town where the desert meets the sea

C G D

You were only wrapped in a towel when you walked out

C G

A spare room in my friend's house

G D Em

Oh, I feel I met you before

C G D Em

Something inside me is trying to remember a story

C G D Em

Oh, I think I've loved you, I've loved you before

C G D C

Something is tugging my sleeve like a secret, whispered from the future

C G D Em

Maybe this is us, now

C G D

Maybe this is us

[Chorus]

C G

Hey, hey, whadda ya say?

D Em

Wanna make history start today?

C G D

Hey, boy, whadda ya say we jump?

From here

C G

Hey, whadda ya thinking?

D Em

Leaning against the kitchen sink

C G D

'Cause I see everything now

Em C G D Em

Sitting on this futon couch

Em C G D Em

Sitting on this futon couch

[Verse 2]

C G

You were never gonna leave that town

D Em C

Where your friends always drop by, unannounced, for tea

G D

Oh, and where the pain of the world was swallowed

Am G

When the sunset wiped you clean

G D Em

Oh, I knew I'd heard it before

Am G

Nothing is changing

Till everything changes at once

C G D Em

Oh, I knew I felt it, right down to my core

C G D

Something was writing itself on the walls of our future hearts

[Chorus]

C G

Hey, hey, whadda ya say?

D Em

Wanna make history start today?

C G D

Hey, boy, whadda ya say we jump?

From here

C G

Hey, whadda ya thinking?

D Em

Kissing me against the kitchen sink

C G D

'Cause I see everything now

Em C G D Em

Sitting on this futon couch

Em C G D Em

Sitting on this futon couch

[Bridge]

C G

Oh, 'cause I see water

D Em

Spilling on the land

C G

I see a frosted window

D Em

And the prints of a small hand

C G

I see the lights out

D Em

Fingers intertwined

C G

I see a cup thrown in silence

D Em

In the breaking of the night

C G

I see me walking towards you

D Em

To the sound of Colin Hay

C G

I see the earth is split

D Em

Down the centre of our plane

C G

But I see it's worth it

D Em

'Cause I see it all now

[Outro]

C G

Sitting on this futon couch

(Hey, hey, whadda ya say?)

D Em

(Wanna make history start today?)

C G

Sitting on this futon couch

D Em

(Hey, boy, whadda ya say we jump?)

C G

Sitting on this futon couch

(Hey, hey, whadda ya say?)

D Em

(Wanna make history start today?)

C G

Sitting on this futon couch

D Em

(Hey, boy, whadda ya say we jump?)

I'm on the edge

(Hey, know what I think?)

D Em

(You'll be kissing me against the kitchen sink)

Sitting on the edge now

('Cause I see everything now)
