INTRO
-----
D5  D/Db  D  (2x)

D/Db

VERSE 1
-------
D5
woke up at eight, started a fire
D/Db
had a few drinks, we all felt inspired
B5                                          D/Db
jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens
D
the water is bitter cold
D5
laid in the raft till it started moving
D/Db
the current just sang, the song was so soothing
B5
we stopped along the way
D/Db D
on a beach in the sun on a beautiful day

CHORUS
------
D5       D/Db    B5        A5        G5
   our boats collide, we feel the breeze
    D5     D/Db      B5       A5          G5
we stay afloat and make the most of everything 

VERSE 2
-------
    D5
by noon we had swung the ropes in the woods
D/Db
missed all dangers, snakes and the floods
B5                                     D/Db       D
burned by the rays and next to our legs, the water so bitter cold
D5
lunch had been saved along with the lighters
D/Db
wet cigarettes serve us as reminders
B5                 D/Db  D
 never trust a man with food, change of clothes, and a drink in his hand

CHORUS
------
D5       D/Db    B5        A5        G5
   our boats collide, we feel the breeze
    D5     D/Db      B5       A5          G5
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
    D5       D/Db       B5          A5
the sun will set, the stars would shine
      D5          D/Db        B5      A5
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
       D5       D/Db     B5       A5      G5     
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone

BRIDGE
------
D5
we'd laugh away the sunburn
D5
as we laughed away his day
D5
what we lost means nothing
        G5
for the memories will stay 

VERSE 3
-------
D5
caught the last bus, with no time to linger
D/Db
driver seemed to be missing a finger
  B5                            D
i turned and looked away to the bus, gravel road and a beautiful day

CHORUS
------
D5       D/Db    B5        A5        G5
   our boats collide, we feel the breeze
    D5     D/Db      B5       A5          G5
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
    D5       D/Db       B5          A5
the sun will set, the stars would shine
      D5          D/Db        B5      A5
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
       D5       D/Db     B5       A5      G5     
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
       D5       D/Db     B5       A5      G5     
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
