[Verse 1]
Aadd9 Eadd9
Kids out driving Saturday afternoon just pass me
by
Aadd9 Eadd9
And I'm just savouring familiar sights
Aadd9
We shared some history,
Eadd9
this town and I
Aadd9 B G#m Aadd9
And I can't stop that longforgotten feeling of her
B Eadd9
Time to book a room and stay tonight
[Verse 2]
Aadd9
Number one is to find some friends to say,
Eadd9
"You're doing well
Aadd9
After all this time,
Eadd9
you boys look just the same"
Aadd9 Eadd9
Number two is the happy hour at the one of two hotels
Aadd9
And settle in to play,
B G#m Aadd9
"Do you remember so and so?"
B Eadd9
And number three is, never say her name
[Chorus]
And Oh,
Aadd9 B F#m
the flame trees will blind the weary driver
F#m Aadd9 B Eadd9
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
Aadd9 B
There's no change, there's no pace
C#m Eadd9
Everything within its place
Aadd9 B Eadd9
Just makes it harder to be lieve that she won't be around
[Verse 3]
Aadd9 Eadd9
Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit,
anyway?
Aadd9
You know it takes more than just a memory to
Eadd9
make me cry
Aadd9
And I'm happy just to sit here
Eadd9
At a ta ble with old friends
Aadd9
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
[Verse 4]
Eadd9
And there's a girl,
Aadd9
she's falling in love
Eadd9
Near where the pianola stands
Aadd9
With a young local factory out of worker
Eadd9
Just holding hands
Aadd9 G#m B
And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
[Bridge]
C G
Do you remember?
C G D E
Nothing stopped us on the field in our day
[Chorus]
Oh,
Aadd9 B F#m
the flame trees will blind the weary driver
Aadd9 B Eadd9
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
Aadd9 B
There's no change, there's no pace
C#m Eadd9
Everything within its place
Aadd9 B Eadd9
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
Oh,
Aadd9 B F#m
the flame trees will blind the weary driver
F#m Aadd9 B Eadd9
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
Aadd9 B
There's no change, there's no pace
C#m Eadd9
Everything within its place
Aadd9 B Eadd9
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
