             C
Light brown skin
             G#
Lips like Campari
               Gsus4
And words like soda
           G
Can I come over?
            C
Just let me in
        G#
I wanna go where
                 Gsus4
The lights are blinding
                G
The sun keeps shining

Fm                   G
If I could, I know where I'd be
C                   Fm
In a little town in Italy
 C#                    G#
Close your eyes, come away with me
  Gsus4
Tomorrow we will be

Chorus:
                C
Sitting by the seaside
                 G#
Drinking up the sunshine
                         Gsus4
You're here, so why don't we go
               C
Dancing in Sanremo?
                                  C
We could be there in a couple of hours
                               G#
To the place with the yellow flowers
                  Gsus4
Somewhere only we know
              C
Sunset in Sanremo

To feel like this
Is one in a million
A suspended moment
Can we seal it
With a tender kiss?
Out of a movie
Made by Fellini
Love that you need me

Over there you shine like a star
Doesn't even matter who you are
Hold my hand and we'll travel far
Close your eyes and we will be

Chorus:
Sitting by the seaside
Drinking up the sunshine
You're here, so why don't we go
Dancing in Sanremo?
We can be there in a couple of hours
To the place with the yellow flowers
Somewhere only we know
Sunset in Sanremo (Sunset in Sanremo)
Sunset in Sanremo

 C
Doo doo doo doo (Doo doo doo)
Fm
Doo doo doo doo (Doo doo doo)
Gsus4
Doo doo doo doo (Doo doo doo)
            Fmaj7
Sunset in Sanremo

Fmaj7          Em7
There you can shine like a star
 A#                        F
There's a place for you, whoever you are
Fmaj7          Em7
I know you're tired of the rain
                   F
But tomorrow we'll be

Chorus:
Sitting by the seaside
Drinking up the sunshine
You're here, so why don't we go
Dancing in Sanremo?
We can be there in a couple of hours
To the place with the yellow flowers
Somewhere only we know
Sunset in Sanremo
Sitting by the seaside
Drinking up the sunshine
You're here, so why don't we go
Dancing in Sanremo?
We can be there in a couple of hours
To the place with the yellow flowers
Somewhere only we know
Sunset in Sanremo
