    F
Oh, hey,
         Am
I wasn't listening
     C                 G                        F
I was watching Syria blinded by the sunshine strip
              Am
You, you were in the kitchen
        C                     G
Oh, your mariner’s mouth the wounded with
                F
the wounder's whip

              Am               C
And that's how summer passed oh,
                             G              F
The great divide and range of green green grass
          Am                          G
Oh, maybe it was peace at last, who knew

Chorus:
F            C    G/B       F
Hello love, my invincible friend
                  C   Em          F
Hello love, the thistle and the burr
                 C     G/B     F
Hello love, for you I have so many words
    F     Am            G   F
But I, forget where we were

Oh hey, I wasn't listening
I was stung by all of us
The blind leading out the bored
And as per usual
You were skipping and laughing
Eyes at the bedroom door
"Don't take it so seriously, no
Only time is ours,
the rest we'll just wait and see!"
Maybe you're right, babe
Maybe

Chorus

   F    Am            G   F
I, I forget where we were
     Am            G   F
I forget where we were
     Am            G   C
I forget where we were,

And that's how summer passed:
The great dividing range, the green, green grass
And oh, maybe it was peace at last
Who knew
