I was comin up runnin’ I was comin’ up fast

   G                                       C

So I can call you up and say I miss you like a fool

                         G                               C
Yeah, but you don't put me down you don't treat me bad

        G                                 C

                     G                                            C
yeah we can still walk in the park there ain’t nobody there

               G                                  C
there's a calm in the trees and a cool in there air

       G              C                                Dsus4    D
it’s warm and I found it kind of soothing

         G                                      C
In a couple of months when the leaves turn green

                    G                                 C
when the seasons change when the bird sings

                 G                              C                         Dsus4    D
I'm gonna grab you up and I'm taking you for good

                      G                              C
Yes and we'll walk by the river most every single day

                G                                     C
and we'll eat our dinner where the tourists play

               G                     C                                Dsus4    D
yeah the city's old but it never seems to get tired
