[Bridge]
G              D
There's a bird flying high
              G
Way up in the air
                           C
And I am sitting here with you at my side
G       D      G
Way out in the country

                 D
There's a lot of real big trees
D7             G
Rolling gently on the breeze
                 C               G
And I am playing with the bumble bees
    D      G
Out in the country

                 D7
Puffy clouds are in the air
                 G
If it rains well we won't care
                        C
'Cause you look good in your underwear
G       D      G             C
Way out in the country

Let me take you in my arms and hold you
C          C/Bb
Once again
              Dm7    Dm/E   Dm/F     Dm/G
It feels like we are coming home and well
C             C/Bb
Remember when
        Dm7       Dm/E  Dm/F   Dm/G
We were young and so in love together
C           C/Bb
Here we are

Happy like we used to be, and baby  why

[Chorus]
                 D
Why we said good-bye
               F
Why we sat and cried

Why we ever let this happen to us
