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

Sitting on the edge now
    C
