Have fun it?s a great song!
Verse 1
[Dbm]If I could bottle up the [B]sea breeze I would take it over [E]to your house and pour it
[B]loose through your garden
[Dbm]So the hinges on your windows would rust an[B]d colour like the boats p[E]ulled up on the
[B]sand for the summer
[F#m]And your sweet clean clothes would go stiff [E]on the line and there?d be sand i[B]n your
pockets and noth[F#m]ing in your mind
But every year it gets a little bit harder to get back the feeling of when we were 15
And we could jump in the river upstream and let the current carry us to the beginning
where the river me the sea again
And all our days were a sun drenched haze while the salt spray crusted on the window
Panes
Chorus
[E]We should be living like we lived in that summer
[Abm]I wanna live like we live in the summer
Verse 2
And I?ll remember that summer as the right one the storms make the pavement steam
like a kettle
And our first goodbyes always seemed like hours in the car park in between my house
and yours
And if the summer was a song we might sing forever then the winter holds a bite we?d
never felt before
Chorus
We should be living like we lived in that summer
I wanna live like we live in the summer
Bridge
[B/B] A/D same for next phra[B/E]se[B/Ab] [B/A]
But time, is like the ocean, you can only hold a little in your hands
So we swim, before we?re broken, before our bones become black coral in the sand
Chorus
We should live like we lived in that summer
I wanna live like we live in the summer
We should live like we lived in that summer
I wanna live like we live in the summer
We should live like we lived in that summer
I wanna live like we live in the summer
Outro
If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it out over to your house and pour it
loose through your garden
