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

Do you remember that evening in Queenstown, walking down by the pier?
Am G F C
sun going down to the Piano Man and the moon shining down so clear
C G F G Am
drinking wine and feeling fine, oh, and we had no idea
F C F G C
if I ever get back to Queenstown, I’ll have one for you, my dear
[Verse 4]
C F C G Am
Do you remember the water that night shimmering under the restaurant lights?
F C G G
drunk on love and life, yeah, we drunk the whole thing down

I remember the magic in the air, the silver moonlight in your hair
F C G G
making love and sleeping safe and sound, in Queenstown

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