Verse 1:
G/B A7sus4 G
You might see me in the papers or hear me on the radio,
G/B A7sus4 G A
And you probably imagine that i'd forgotten you long, long ago,
G A7sus4
Well i couldn't if i tried,
G A7sus4
though you might think i tell a lie,
G A7sus4
well i'll hold you in my memory from now,
G A7sus4
until the day i die
Chorus:
C D
Bomber jackets and young girls smiles,
G C
Valentines and county trials,
C D
meetin' at the mercy gates,
G C
all afternoon i couldn't wait
C D G A (riff)
my thoughts were just of kissin you
Verse 2:(same chords)
Well i might be mistaken but i think we've met somewhere before
was i drunk and stoned and dancing on some salt hill disco's slippy floor
with your nose on someone's shoulder,
slow dancin' tightly intertwined,
i wish we'd swapped our partners and continued
dancin til the end of time,
Chorus 2:
C D
Bomber jackets and young girls smiles,
G C
Valentines and county trials,
C D
meetin' at the mercy gates,
G C
all afternoon i couldn't wait
C D
Duffel coats and desert boots
G C
and the teachers spoke of Brian Boru,
C D G A
my thoughts were just of kissin you
C D G A (riff)
my thoughts were just of kissin you
