VERSE1
A sCimple scent of sAmummer   Fstole my heart for thGe last dance
The Csmell of two-stroke Gpetrol from a Ammotorbike we Fused to hGave

   FI'll be tGhinking of Cyou
CHORUS
Now I'm Cwaiting for the sunset Fborderline
'Cause  Cevery sun's gotta sEmet with time
But I'll reAmmember those moments for Fevermore

As the days where nothing had changed at all

               ...          Am                 F  G  
Found a long lost picture, mm,  of the car we used to run
CCotton candy coGloured paintwork Amlooked so faded Fin the sGun
And that  Csix o'clock sAmunrise you  Falways used to drGive me to
CGuess that long lost piGcture will always   Amhave me thinking
           F  G...
   Have me thinking of you

               ...    Am                               F  G  
I tuned into the radio, flicking through the stations one by one
CTried to listen Gthrough the rain, Amhumming those meloFdies alGone
And I  Cremember how you tAmold me that FLennon & McCartney
always Gpulled you through
                 C           G                    Am           F            G  C...
