Verse 1:
N.C.
I was sitting on a Futon Couch
In a far off town where the desert meets the sea
C              G                             D
You were only wrapped in a towel when you walked out
                    C              G
A spare room in my friend's house
G             D        Em
Oh, I feel I met you before
 C          G                                 D   Em
Something inside me is trying to remember a story
C                 G                D         Em
Oh, I think I've loved you, I've loved you before
              C                       G             D             C
Something is tugging my sleeve like a secret, whispered from the future
              C G     D Em
Maybe this is us, now
              C G  D
Maybe this is us

Chorus:
C          G
Hey, hey, whadda ya say?
D                    Em
Wanna make history start today?
C          G                  D
Hey, boy, whadda ya say we jump?
Em
From here
C     G
Hey, whadda ya thinking?
D                     Em
Leaning against the kitchen sink
       C       G        D
'Cause I see everything now
Em                C     G    D Em
Sitting on this futon couch
Em                C     G   Dm Em
Sitting on this futon couch

Verse 2:
Em
You were never gonna leave that town
            D                         Em
Where your friends always drop by, unannounced, for tea
Em                                           D
Oh, and where the pain of the world was swallowed
                            Am  G
When the sunset wiped you clean
G                D        Em
Oh, I knew I'd heard it before
Am           G
Nothing is changing
Till everything changes at once
C             G               D          Em
Oh, I knew I felt it, right down to my core
                 G                                 D
Something was writing itself on the walls of our future hearts

Chorus:
C          G
Hey, hey, whadda ya say?
D                    Em
Wanna make history start today?
C          G                  D
Hey, boy, whadda ya say we jump?
Em
From here
C     G
Hey, whadda ya thinking?
D                     Em
Leaning against the kitchen sink
       C       G        Dm
'Cause I see everything now
Em                C     G    D Em
Sitting on this futon couch
Em                C     G   Dm Em
Sitting on this futon couch

Bridge:
                  C    G
Oh, 'cause I see water
 D               Em
Spilling on the land
            C       G
I see a frosted window
           D          Em
And the prints of a small hand
            C     G
I see the lights out
D              Em
Fingers intertwined
         C             G
I see a cup thrown in silence
         D             Em
In the breaking of the night
            C        G
I see me walking towards you
         D             Em
To the sound of Colin Hay
           C         G
I see the earth is split
           D            Em
Down the centre of our plane
                 C   G
But I see it's worth it
D Em
                 Am
'Cause I see it all now

(You'll be kissing me against the kitchen sink)
Sitting on the edge now
        C
('Cause I see everything now)
