Kids out driving Saturday afternoon just pass me by
I'm just savouring familiar sights
We shared some history this town and I
G A F#m G
And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her
G A D
It's time to book a room to stay tonight
G D
Number one is to find some friends to say You're doing well
After all this time you boys look just the same
Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels
G A F#m G
Settle in to play Do you remember so and so
G A D
Number three is never say her name
G D Em
Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
G A D
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
G A Bm D
There's no change there's no pace Everything within its place
G A D
Just makes it harder to believe she won't be around
G D
Oh Who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway
Takes more than just a memory to make me cry
And I'm happy just to sit here round a table with old friends
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
G D
And there's a girl she's falling in love near where the pianola stands
With a young local factory out-of-worker Ah their just holding hands
G F#m A
And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
F C F C D
Do you remember nothing stopped us on the field in our day
G A Em
Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
G A D
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
G A Bm D
There's no change there's no pace Everything within its place
G A D
Just makes it harder to believe she won't be around
Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to the town
There's no change there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe she won't be around
