Gthinking of a Cwarm summer's Dday

[Interlude]
G  C  G  C
[Verse 2]
Gand all the Ctimes we would Dkiss
your Cmouth like a rose
Gtaste of Ccherry on your Dlips
little Ckiss on your nose
Gand it's those Ctimes that I Dmiss
but you Cknow how it goes
Gwhen your pCarents got Dpissed
and we Ctook to the road
[Chorus]
Gnow I'm staring
Emat these cracks in the Droad
Amlike our lifetimes
Cas we quickly Dgrow old
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Gnow I'm staring
Emat these cracks in the Droad
Amlike our lifetimes
Cas we quickly Dgrow old
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 3]
Ghold my Chead up and Dlaugh
smile and Cthrow on some clothes
Gfill the Ccar full of Dgas
stroke some Cpaint on your toes
Gstand and Cfold up the Dmap
no one Cknows where you'll go
Gleaving on a Cwarm summer's Dday
as we Csail down the Groad

leaving on a warm summer's day

as we sail down the road
