[Chorus]
C           Em           G
Oh, Saturday sun
D
I met someone
C                               Em
Out on the west coast
G                                         D
I gotta get back, I can’t let this go

Oh, Saturday sun

[Verse 1]
C                               Em
So tired of sleeping alone
G                                         D
So tired of eating alone
C
I need to ask her
Em                     G                               D
What’s going on, are we going strong?

C                               Em
She fell, I rested her head
G                                         D
My shoulder was the perfect height
C
We fit so right
Em                                         G                     D
So what’s going on? ‘Cause I’ve been undone

C                                         Em
The long drive, the coastline
G                               D
Looking out at first light
C                                         Em
Am I still on her mind?

I’ve been undone

C                                         Em
And still the memory’s right there
G                                                   D
She put the breeze in my hair
C
No kiss was softer
Em                     G                               D
Softer than this, I’m reading her lips

C                               Em
Oh, each night, I read
G                                         D
She left her books in my bed
C                               Em
And her song, in my head
G
I’ve been undone
