Kids [F#] I drive in Saturday
[E] and [A] I'm just
[E]
Savory familiar sights
[A]
We've shared some history
[E]
This town and I
[A]
And I [B] can't stop that long [G#m]
-forgotten feeling [A] I've heard
It's time to book [B] a room and stay [E] the night
[A] [E] [A]
Number one is to find some [E] friends to say you're doing well
And [A]
after all this time you boys [E] look just the same
And [A]
number two is the happy [E] hour at one of two hotels
[A] And settling [B] to play to you, [G#m]
remember so [A] and so
And number three [B] is never say [E] her name
[A] [E] And [A] though the flame [B] trees will blind the [F#m] weary driver
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And [A] there's nothing else [B] can set fire to [E] this town
And [A] there's no change, there's [B] no taste
[C#m] Everything within [E] its place
Just makes [A] it hard to [B] believe
That she [E] won't be [A] around
[E] And [A] oh, [E] who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway?
[A]
You know it takes more than just a [E] memory to make me cry
And [Em] [A]
I'm happy just to sit [E] here
Around this table with old friends
[Em] And [A]
see which one of us can tell [E] the biggest lies
And [A] there's a girl, she's falling in love
[E] Near where the piano stands
With [A] a young local factory-outer worker
[E] And they're just holding hands
And [A] I'm wondering if [G#m] he'll go or if [B] he'll stay
[C] Do [G] you remember nothing [C] stopped us from [G]
being in [D] our day?
[E]
