Key:
D D D D
D Up on a hill is where we begin
D G This little story a long time ago
D Stop to pretend, stop pretending
D It seems this game is simply
G never-ending
D Oh, in the sun, sun having fun
D It's in my blood I just can't help it
D I want you here right now
G Let me go, oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
D/F# Leavin' just in time
Em Stayed there for a while
F#m Rolling in the ocean
A Trying to catch her eye
Continues after the ad
D/F# Work hard and say it's easy
Em Do it just to please me
F#m Tomorrow will be different
A So I'll pretend I'm leaving If you wanna kinda make a solo I do D for the beginning strumming like the intro. Then G at the end.
D Our fears are different here We train in A-V-A
D I wish you hadn't stayed My vision's clearer now, but I'm
G unafraid
D Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze
D G I took too many varieties
D Oh, in the sun, sun having fun It's in my blood
D I just can't help it I want you here right now
G Let me go Oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
D/F# Leaving just in time
Em Staying for a while
F#m Rolling in the ocean
A Trying to catch her eye
D/F# Work hard and say it's easy
Em Do it just to please me
F#m Tomorrow will be different
A So this is why I'm leaving
