[Intro]
G  D  G  D
 
[Verse 1]
G                                D
 KIDS OUT DRIVING SATURDAY AFTERNOON JUST PASS ME BY
G             A          D
 AND I`M JUST SAVOURING FAMILIAR SIGHTS
G                       D
 WE SHARED SOME HISTORY THIS TOWN AND I
G           A                F#m                 G
 AND I CANT STOP THAT LONG FORGOTTEN FEELING OF HURT
G                   A                 D
 ITS TIME TO BOOK A ROOM AND STAY THE NIGHT
 
G                                      D
 NUMBER ONE IS TO FIND SOME FREINDS TO SAY "YOUR DOING WELL"
G               A                  D
 AFTER ALL THIS TIME YOU BOYS LOOK JUST THE SAME
G                                D
 NUMBER TWO IS THE HAPPY HOUR IN 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
 
[Chorus]
        G                A             Em
 OH THE FLAME TREES WILL BLIND A WEARY DRIVER
            G                  A                D
 AND THERES NOTHING ELSE COULD SET FIRE TO THIS TOWN
           G                A         Bm                D
 THERES NO CHANGE THERES NO PACE EVERYTHINGS WITHIN ITS PLACE
               G            A              D
 JUST MAKES IT HARDER TO BELIEVE  SHE WONT BE AROUND
 
[Verse 2]
G                   D
 OH! WHO NEEDS THAT SENTIMENTAL BULLSHIT... ANYWAY
G                                 D
 TAKES MORE THAN JUST A MEMORY TO MAKE ME CRY
G                                       D
 AND I`M HAPPY JUST TO SIT HERE ROUND A TABLE WITH OLD FRIENDS
G                                                 D
 AND SEE WHICH ONE OF US CAN TELL THE BIGGEST LIES
 
              G                                          D
 AND THERES A GIRL, SHES FALLING IN LOVE NEAR WHERE THE PIANOLA STANDS
G                                             D
 WITH A YOUNG LOCAL FACTORY AUTOWORKER   JUST HOLDING HANDS
         G                  F#m            A
 AND I`M WONDERING IF HE`LL GO OR IF HE`LL STAY
Bb        F              Bb                 F           C    D
 DO YOU REMEMBER NOTHING STOPPED US ON THE FIELD IN OUR DAY
 
[Chorus]
        G                A             Em
 OH THE FLAME TREES WILL BLIND A WEARY DRIVER
        G                      A                D
 AND THERES NOTHING ELSE COULD SET FIRE TO THIS TOWN
           G                A        Bm                 D
 THERES NO CHANGE THERES NO PACE EVERYTHINGS WITHIN ITS PLACE
               G            A              D
 JUST MAKES IT HARDER TO BELIEVE  SHE WONT BE AROUND
 
        G                A             Em
 OH THE FLAME TREES WILL BLIND A WEARY DRIVER
        G                      A                D
 AND THERES NOTHING ELSE COULD SET FIRE TO THIS TOWN
           G                A        Bm                 D
 THERES NO CHANGE THERES NO PACE EVERYTHINGS WITHIN ITS PLACE
               G            A              D
 JUST MAKES IT HARDER TO BELIEVE  SHE WONT BE AROUND
