D5             D5
Up on a hill, heres where we begin
D5                  D5              G5   G5
This little story, a long time ago
D5                 D5
Start to pretend, start pretending
D5                  D5                  G5   G5
It seems this game is simply neverending

Oh in the sun sun having fun, its in my blood

Leaving just in time
               E5
Stay there for a while
              F#5
Rolling in the ocean
                   A5
Trying to catch her eye
                    D5
Work hard and say its easy
                 E5
Do it just to please me
                F#5
Tomorrow will be different
                A5
So Ill pretend Im leaving

Verse 2

       D5
I feel so different now
              D5
We trained at AVA
           D5
I wish you hadnt stayed 
           D5                 G5        G5
My visions clearer now but Im unafraid
D5                D5
Flyin over seas, no time to feel the breeze
D5               D5            G5        G5
I took too many varieties  



        D5                     D5
Oh in the sun sun having fun, its in my blood
D5                    D5
I just cant help it, dont want you here right now

Let me go, wooooooooo
