[Verse 1]
CGFC
When I think back to that morning in Queenstown, my heart starts to ache
AmGFC
sitting in the shade of the hire car throwing stones into the lake
CGFGAm
we weren’t to know that life would throw, a little more than we could take
FCFGC
if I ever get back to Queenstown, I won’t make the same mistake
[Verse 2]
CFCGAm
Do you remember that water on our skin, cold as ice and sweet as gin?
FCG
drunk on love and life, yeah, we drunk the whole thing down
GFCEAm
I remember that soft summer air, the golden sunlight in your hair
FCGG
singing and laughing,.. driving the coast road down, to Queenstown
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
CGFC
Do you remember that evening in Queenstown, walking down by the pier?
AmGFC
sun going down to the Piano Man and the moon shining down so clear
CGFGAm
drinking wine and feeling fine, oh, and we had no idea
FCFGC
if I ever get back to Queenstown, I’ll have one for you, my dear
[Verse 4]
CFCGAm
Do you remember the water that night shimmering under the restaurant lights?
FCGG
drunk on love and life, yeah, we drunk the whole thing down
GFCEAm
I remember the magic in the air, the silver moonlight in your hair
FCGG
making love and sleeping safe and sound, in Queenstown
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
CGFC
Life goes fast, now years have past and I’m living on my own
AmGFG
I see you now and again through mutual friends, but we know that bird has flown,
CGFGAm
sitting on the couch in this big old house, I’ve never felt so alone
FCFGC
if I ever get back to Queenstown, I might not make it home
[Outro]
FCFGC
If I ever get back to Queenstown, I might not come home
