Intro: A E A E

A E

The kids are driving and Saturday afternoon just passed me by

A E

I'm just savouring familiar sights

A E

We shared some history, this town and I

A B G#m Av

And I can't stop that long-forgotten feeling of her

A B E

In time to book a room and stay tonight

Number 1 is to find some friends and say "you're doing well --

After all this time you boys look just the same"

Number 2 is the Happy Hour at one of two hotels

And settle in to play "Do you remember so-and-so"

Number 3 is never say her name

CHORUS:

A B F#m

And oh the flame trees'll blind a weary driver

Av B E

And there's nothing that can set fire to this town

A B C#m E

There's no change, there's no pace, everything within its place,

A B E

Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around

A E

Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway

A E

It takes more than just a memory to make me cry

A E

And I'm happy just to sit here at a table with old friends

A E

And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies

A E

And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love near where the pianola stands

A E

With a young local factory auto worker -- just holdin' hands

A G#m B

And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay

C G C G D E

Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day

CHORUS
