              C#                 G#
They were sitting, they were sitting
                    D#
in the strawberry swing
                          C#    G# D#
And every moment was so precious
              C#                 G#
They were sitting, they were talking
                    D#
in the strawberry swing
                       C#     G#
And everybody was for fighting
                         D#
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing

Chorus:
            C#              G#
Cold, cold water bring me 'round
        D#
Now my feet won't touch the ground
            C#
Cold, cold water
          G#
What you say?
      Cm7                      C#
It's such, it's such a perfect day
                     G#
It's such a perfect day

I remember
We were walking up to strawberry swing
I can't wait 'til the morning
Wouldn't wanna change a thing

Chorus:
People moving all the time
Inside a perfect straight line
Don't you wanna curve away
It's such it's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day

         G#           G#maj7
Now the sky could be blue
        G#7
I don't mind
   C#                      G#
Without you its a waste of time

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

Well the sky could be blue
Could be grey
Without you I'm just miles away

Well, the sky could be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
