When I think back to that morning in Queenstown, my heart starts to ache
Am                          G        F                            C
sitting in the shade of the hire car throwing stones into the lake
C                        G                         F                  G    Am
we weren’t to know that life would throw, a little more than we could take
     F                           C    F             G        C
if I ever get back to Queenstown, I won’t make the same mistake

  Do you remember that water on our skin, cold as ice and sweet as gin?
         F                    C                            G
drunk on love and life, yeah, we drunk the whole thing down
G                F             C              E                Am
I remember that soft summer air, the golden sunlight in your hair
            F           C                      G    G
singing and laughing,.. driving the coast road down, to Queenstown

Do you remember that evening in Queenstown,   walking down by the pier?
Am                      G                F                     C
sun going down to the Piano Man and the moon shining down so clear
C                    G                  F      G    Am
drinking wine and feeling fine, oh, and we had no idea
     F                          C      F            G       C
if I ever get back to Queenstown, I’ll have one for you, my dear

  Do you remember the water that night shimmering under the restaurant lights?
         F                   C                             G    G
drunk on love and life, yeah, we drunk the whole thing down

  I remember the magic in the air, the silver moonlight in your hair
       F        C                       G   G
making love and sleeping safe and sound,      in Queenstown

Life goes fast, now years have past and I’m living on my own
          Am                      G                    F                       G
I see you now and again through mutual friends, but we know that bird has flown,
C                            G                   F          G    Am
sitting on the couch in this big old house, I’ve never felt so alone
     F                           C   F           G     C
if I ever get back to Queenstown,  I might not make it home
