Verse 1:

D                                                C#aug/5
woke up at eight, started the fire, had a few drinks, we all felt inspired

B                                                                       G
jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens, the water was bitter cold

D                                                     C#aug/5
laid in the raft till it started moving, the current just sang, the song was so soothing

B                                        G
we stopped along the way, on a beach in the sun on a beautiful day


Chorus:

D      C#aug/5    B              A            G
     our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze

         D      C#aug/5    B            A          G   
we'd stay afloat and make the most of everything


Verse 2:

by noon we had swung the ropes in the woods, missed all danger, snakes and the floods
burnt by the rays and next to our legs, the water so bitter cold, 
lunch had been saved along with the lighters, wet cigarettes serve us as reminders,
never trust a man with the food, change of clothes, and a drink in his hand


Chorus:

D      C#aug/5    B              A            G
     our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze

         D      C#aug/5    B            A          G   
we'd stay afloat and make the most of everything

       D         C#aug/5      B                 A
the sun would set, the stars would shine

       D              C#aug/5       B          A
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine

       D        C#aug/5        B            A         G    
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone


Bridge:

   C#aug/5                                           D
we laughed away the sunburn, as we laughed away the day

C#aug/5                                               D                      D
what we lost means nothing, for the memories will stay


Verse 3:

D                                                               C#aug/5        
caught the last bus with no time to linger, driver seemed to be missing a finger

   B                                               G
I turned and looked away to the bus, gravel road and a beautiful day


Chorus:

our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze
we'd stay afloat and make the most of everything
the sun will set, the stars would shine
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
