Am Amb6 Am4 Am
No time, no place, to talk about the weather

The labour of love is ours to endure
Am Amb6 Am4 Am
Highest branch on the apple tree

Am Amb6 Am4 Am
I could hear them breaking free
Am G6/A Fmaj7/A C
But they could not see me

VERSE 2:
I have all I want, is that simple enough?
A whole lot more I'm thinking of
Every night about six o'clock
Birds come back to the pond to talk
Talk to me, birds talk to me
If I go down on my knees
CHORUS 2:
I will run for shelter, endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters in our private universe
Feels like nothing matters in our private universe
BRIDGE 2:

It's a tight squeeze but I won't let go
Time is on the table and the dinner's cold

I will run for shelter, endless summer lift the curse
Feels like nothing matters in our private universe
