Verse 1
Bm 			 A			      	 D
If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it over to your house and pour it
A
loose through your garden
Bm 			 		   A			    D
So the hinges on your windows would rust and colour like the boats pulled up on the
A
sand for the summer
Em					    D				     A
And your sweet clean clothes would go stiff on the line and there’d be sand in your
	        Em
pockets and nothing 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
D
We should be living like we lived in that summer
F#m
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
A/A		         A/D		A/F#        A/G          
   A/D same for next phrase
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
