Sometimes when we're as close as this   It?s like we?re in a dream

How can you lie there and think of England   When you don't even know
who's in the team

And if you haven't noticed yet     I'm more impressionable when my cement
is wet

Are debated as we empty our glasses

And how I love those evening classes

C                         Am7                    G        D      G
The people from your church agree    It's not much of a career
C                            Am7                   D
Trying the handles of parked cars      Whoops,there goes another year

Whoops,there goes another pint of beer

C                    Am
Here we are in our summer years
G           D             G
Living on ice-cream and chocolate kisses
C                       Am
Would the leaves fall from the trees
          D
If I was your old man and you were my missus
G    D    C         D             G       D

Fun song to play, and by the way, sounds great played on a 12 string.
