[Intro]

G C D C

[Verse 1]

G C D C

Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo

With the sun shining down over me and you

And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too

And I'll put my hands over your eyes, but you'll peep through

And there'll be sun sun sun

All over our bodies

G C

And sun sun sun

D C

All down our necks

G C

And sun sun sun

D C

All over our faces

G C

And sun sun sun

D C

So what the heck

[Verse 2]

G C D C

Cause I'll be laughing at all your silly little jokes

G C D C

And we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke

G C

All those stupid little cigarettes

D C

And drink stupid wine

G C D C

Cause it's what we needed to have a good time

[Chorus]

G C

And it was fun fun fun

When we were drinking

It was fun fun fun

When we were drunk

And it was fun fun fun

When we were laughing

It was fun fun fun

Oh it was fun

Oh well I look at you and say it's the happiest that I've ever been

And I'll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean

And she'll say yah well I feel all pretty happy too

G C D C

And I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you

[Chorus]

And there'll be love love love

All through our bodies

And love love love

All through our minds

And there'll be love love love

All over her face

And love love love

All over mine

Although maybe all these moments are just in my head

I'll be thinking about them as I'm lying in bed

And all that I believe might never really come true

G C D C

But in my mind I'm having a pretty good time with you

[Chorus]

G C D

Oh in five years time

I might not know you

G C D

Five years time

We might not speak

G C D

Oh in five years time

We might not get along

G C D

In five years time

C G C D C

You might just prove me wrong

G C D

Oh there'll be love love love

Wherever you go

There'll be love love love

Wherever you go

There'll be love love love

Wherever you go

There'll be love love love

Wherever you go
