C    D7     Fm   Am/C

[Verse 1]
              C
We can always come back
         D7
Said the mum to the boy
     Fm
On a beach, was a ploy
        C
And the boy knew
    Fm                     Am
Her words were only words
               C
We were on the beach too
  D7
A mother and the girls
       Fm
At the start of the world
          C
And I was there too
       Fm                  Am
Taking pictures of us all
                     C
But I don't remember pictures
         D7
Though I have them to hand
    Fm
I remember the sand
        C
On your face though
         Fm   D7
And the shivering from the sea


[Interlude]
Am/H        C       D7   D/E


[Verse 2]
Am           C
Carried on a shoulder
D7
Still in a towel
      Fm
And I still don't know how
   C
We made it
       Fm                   Am
And I think I'll never know
Am           C
Happiness is action
       D7
At the end of the day
           Fm
There was nothing to say
       C
But we all knew
     Fm                   Am
That sleep would be well
                       C
You can't preserve the moments
     D7
They move with the air
       Fm
To the gods of nowhere
            C
But we were all there
           Fm
And that's good enough for me
