Cold Chisel

[A][E][A][E]

The [A] kids are driving and Saturday after-[E]-noon just passed me by

[A] I'm just savouring fa-[E]-miliar sights

[A] We shared some history, [E] this town and I

[A] And I can't [B] stop that long-for-[G#m]-gotten feeling of [A] her

[A] Time to book a [B] room and stay [E] tonight

[A] Number one is to find some friends and [E] say "you're doing well

[A] After all this time you boys look [E] just the same"

[A] Number two is the happy hour at [E] one of two hotels

[A] And settle in to [B] play "Do you re-[G#m]-member so-and-[A]-so"

[A] Number three is [B] never say her [E] name

Oh the [A] flame trees will [B] blind the weary [F#m] driver

And there's [A] nothing else can [B] set fire to this [E] town

There's no [A] change, there's no [B] pace, every-[C#m]-thing within its [E] place,

Just makes it [A] harder to be-[B]-lieve that she won't [E] be around

[A] Oh, who needs that sentimental [E] bullshit anyway

[A] It takes more than just a memory to [E] make me cry

[A] And I'm happy just to sit here at a [E] table with old friends

[A] And see which one of us can tell the biggest [E] lies

[A] And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love near where the [E] pianola stands

With a [A] young local factory auto worker [E] just holdin' hands

And I'm [A] wondering if he'll [G#m] go or if he'll [B] stay

[C] Do you re-[G]-member, nothing [C] stopped us on the [G] field in our [D] day [E]

Oh the [A] flame trees will [B] blind the weary [F#m] driver

And there's [A] nothing else can [B] set fire to this [E] town

There's no [A] change, there's no [B] pace, every-[C#m]-thing within its [E] place,

Just makes it [A] harder to be-[B]-lieve that she won't [E] be around
