Do Asome people wind Eup Awith the one that they EadorAe
In a heart-shaped Ehotel room Ait's what a heart is EforA  
The bubble floats so Emadly Awill it stay sky-Ehigh?A  
Hello Epartner, Akiss your name bye-EbyeA  
ooh Bsometimes...
Romantic pisceEan Aseeks angel in disEguiseA  
Chinese-speaking EgirlfrienAd big brown EeyesA  
liverpudlian Elady, Asophisticated EmaleA  
Hello EpartnerA, tell me love can't EfailA  
                                                A  E*
And it's you and me in the summertime   We'll be hand in hand down in the park
With a Asqueeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye
            E*
And all the sunshine banishes the dark
[Break]
E  A   E  A   E  A  E
Do Asome people wind Eup Awith the one that they EabhoAr
In a distant hEell-hole rAoom, this third world wEarA  
But all I see is Efilms where Aa colourless despEairA  
Meant Eangry young mAen with immaculate hEairA  
ooh Bsometimes...
Get up a voice iEnside says tAhere's no time for looking dEownA  
Only a pound a wEord & youA're talking to the tEownA  
But how do you Ecoin the phrase Athough
That will set your soul aEpartA  
Just to touch a lonely hEeartA  
                                                A  E*
And it's you & me in the summertime     We'll be hand down in the park

And all the sunshine banishes the dark
                                                A  E*
And it's you I need in the summertime   As I turn my white skin red
Two peaAs from the same pod yes we are
            E*
Or have I read too much fiction?
Is this how it hEappAens?         How does it happenE?A

[Intro]

E A E A E A E

A E A E A

Do some people wind up with the one that they adore

E A E A

In a heart-shaped hotel room it's what a heart is for

E A E A

The bubble floats so madly will it stay sky-high?

E A E A

Hello partner, kiss your name bye-bye

ooh sometimes...

E A E A

Romantic piscean seeks angel in disguise

E A E A

Chinese-speaking girlfriend big brown eyes

E A E A

liverpudlian lady, sophisticated male

E A E A

Hello partner, tell me love can't fail

A E

And it's you and me in the summertime We'll be hand in hand down in the park

With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye

And all the sunshine banishes the dark

[Break]

E A E A E A E

A E A E A

Do some people wind up with the one that they abhor

E A E A

In a distant hell-hole room, this third world war

E A E A

But all I see is films where a colourless despair

E A E A

Meant angry young men with immaculate hair

ooh sometimes...

E A E A

Get up a voice inside says there's no time for looking down

E A E A

Only a pound a word & you're talking to the town

E A

But how do you coin the phrase though

E A

That will set your soul apart

E A

Just to touch a lonely heart

A E

And it's you & me in the summertime We'll be hand down in the park

with a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye

And all the sunshine banishes the dark

A E

And it's you I need in the summertime As I turn my white skin red

Two peas from the same pod yes we are

Or have I read too much fiction?

E A E A

Is this how it happens? How does it happen?

E A E A

How does it happen? How does it happen?

E A E A

Is this how it happens? Now, right now
