And every moment was so precious...


          Db6sus2            Absus2                    Eb

They were sitting, they were talking in the strawberry swing

                      Db6sus2              
And everybody was for fighting                    

Absus2                           Eb
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing


SECOND VERSE

Cold, cold water bring me 'round

       Eb
Now my feet won't touch the ground

Cold, cold water

         Absus2
What you say?

     Cmm7                      Absus2
It's such, it's such a perfect day

It's such a perfect day


THIRD VERSE

   Db6sus2         Absus2                   Eb

I can't wait 'til the morning

Absus2                  Eb
Wouldn't wanna change a thing

       Db6sus2        Absus2
People moving all the time

         Eb
Inside a perfectly straight line

          Db6sus2     Absus2
Don't you wanna curve away

     Cmm7                     Absus2
It's such it's such a perfect day


It's such a perfect day

ENDING
             Absus2         Cmm7
Now the sky could be blue

        Gb6sus2
I don't mind

Db6sus2              Fm7sus4
Without you its a waste of time


Could be blue I don't mind, without you it's a waste of time

The sky could be blue, could be gray without you I just slide away

The sky could be blue, I don't mind, without you it's a waste of time
