[Verse 1]

C/D G Cmaj7

Think I saw you on the bus just yesterday

C/D G Cmaj

Wearing that blue shirt you said you liked that day

C/D G Cmaj7

The image now is just blurred in my mind

[Chorus]

C/D G C/D G

But do you recall the time we talked?

C/D G D

The day you held my hand?

Cmaj7 G

We were by a station

Cmaj7 G

The sky was dark in sight

Cmaj7 G D

The moon was out but the sun was in your eyes

Cmaj7 G

No one talked but I did

Cmaj7 G

You listened

Cmaj G D G

You said you liked the way I spoke

[Verse 2]

C/D G Cmaj7

I think I saw you in my dream last night

C/D G Cmaj7

It was cold with lots of pretty lights

C/D G Cmaj

The image now is just blurred in my mind

[Chorus]

C/D G C/D G

But do you recall the time we talked?

C/D G D

The day you kissed me?

Cmaj7 G

We were by an archway

Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G D

With flowers cascading round the roof

Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G

Standing under my winter coat to shelter us

Cmaj7 G D G

You said you liked the way I spoke

Cmaj7 G D G

And if you'd like to hold my hand

Cmaj7 G D G

It would bring back all the things we had

Cmaj G D G

And if God were to take that all away

Cmaj7 G D

Wouldn't that be a shame?

Cmaj7 G D G
