G D Am Em

[Verse 1]
  G                          D
On a drive from St Lucia to Surfers
                     Am
In my old university car
                                 Em
We had the windows down for our air con'
                                          G
The door was so hot that you burned your arm
                           D
It was the tail end of a summer
                                 Am
And the heat washed in with the breeze
                                         Em
And you were searching for something to sing to

[Chorus 1]
                G                     D
As the radio played another terrible song
               Am                            Em
But lucky for me, you found the tape with Tallulah on
                      G
And it's been a long time
                        D
Since I've seen all my old friends
                      Am
But I really love my new friends
                          Em
I feel I've known them a long while

[Verse 2]
G                                 D
Then last summer you wrote me a letter
                        Am
On the back of a surf magazine
                              Em
You said you didn't have any paper
                                        G
And maybe you wondered what could have been
                                D                            Am
So I sent you a postcard from Berlin of a fat man eating a sausage
                            Em
It hid the fact that I was hiding

[Chorus 2]
             G                     D
As the DJ played another terrible song
              Am                           Em
But lucky for us, we found a bar with the Maytals on
                      G
And it's been a long time
                        D
Since I've seen all my old friends
                      Am
But I really love my new friends
                          Em
I feel I've known them a long while

[Middle]
  G            D                Am                         Em
I'm wondering if I've already heard all the songs that'll mean something
   G               D              Am                         Em
And I'm wondering if I've already met all the people that'll mean something

[Verse 3]
 G                 D                                          Am
But I find myself daydreaming of the places where we used to stay
                       Em
We used to brush them away
   G            D                         Am
St Kilda, Coolangatta, Bondi Beach and Coogee Bay
                          Em
I like the sound of their names

[Outro]
                 G                            D
And I wonder if you would wanna go there with me
                         Am
When I'm finished over here
                            Em
If you're not finished with me

                 G                            D
And I wonder if you would wanna go there with me
                         Am
When I'm finished over here
                            Em
If you're not finished with me

                 G                            D
And I wonder if you would wanna go there with me
                         Am
When I'm finished over here
                            Em
If you're not finished with me
