Intro:
C F G F

Verse 1:
           C          F                G               F
Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo 
         C           F         G      F
With the sun shining down over me and you 
                C           F             G         F
And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too 
                C           F             G           F
And I'll put my hands over your eyes, but you'll peep through 


Chorus:
                C       F
And there'll be sun sun sun 
G            F
All over our bodies 
    C       F
And sun sun sun 
G            F
All down our necks
    C       F
And sun sun sun 
G            F
All over our faces 
    C       F
And sun sun sun 
G           F
So what the heck 

Verse 2:

Cause I'll be laughing at all your silly little jokes 
And we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke 
All those stupid little cigarettes 
And drink stupid wine 
Cause it's what we needed to have a good time 

Chorus:

And it was fun fun fun 
When we were drinking 
It was fun fun fun 
When we were drunk 
And it was fun fun fun 
When we were laughing 
It was fun fun fun 
Oh it was fun 

Verse 3:

Oh well I look at you and say 
It's the happiest that I've ever been 
And I'll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean 
And she'll say 
Yah well I feel all pretty happy too 
And I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you 

Chorus:

And there'll be 
Love love love 
All through our bodies 
And love love love 
All through our minds 
And there'll be Love love love 
All over her face 
And Love love love 
All over mine 

Verse 4:

Although maybe all these moments are just in my head 
I'll be thinking about them as I'm lying in bed 
And all that I believe might never really come true 
But in my mind I'm having a pretty good time with you 

Chorus:

Oh 
Five years time 
I might not know you 
Five years time 
We might not speak 
Oh 
In five years time 
We might not get along 
In five years time 
You might just prove me wrong 

Oh there'll be love love love 
Wherever you go 
There'll be love love love 
Wherever you go 
There'll be love love love 
Wherever you go 
There'll be love love love 
Wherever you go 
There'll be love love love 
Wherever you go 
There'll be love love love 
Wherever you go 
There'll be love love love 
Wherever you go there'll be love
