[Verse 1]
C           G             Am    G
Once upon a time in South Africa
   F         C              F       G
I turned to you under the bleeding moon
      C       G                        Am    G
The ships were sailing in beneath the table top
          F      C         F          G
It was three o'clock, the night was still

[Verse 2]
       C             G             Am        G
Yeah, we stayed at Joanna's for a night or two
            F            C              F      G
Though she never really saw us we were too consumed
      C         G            Am       G
We never really even got to see the place
         F       C           F        G
We were way too busy chasing on the place

[Chorus]
C             G       F      C
I don't even wanna go out tonight
    F         C   G     F
No, I've got you by my side
C             G            F        C
I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl

No, I've got you by my side
      C G Am G F C F G
By my side

[Verse 3]
   C               G             Am    G
I got to know you better on the trampoline
           F    C                F      G
Although I am aware I won't know everything
           C          G
And it's a big jump, big jump
 Am              G                F             C
Pull yourself together, boy, you haven't got forever, boy
    F                 G
And if it feels like heaven, well

[Chorus]
C             G       F      C
I don't even wanna go out tonight

No, I've got you by my side
C             G       F      C
I don't even wanna go out tonight
    F         C   G     F
No, I've got you by my side
C             G            F        C
I don't even need to sugarcoat it, girl
    F          C  G     F
No, I've got you by my side

[Bridge]
            C
And it's a big jump, big jump
 G
Pull yourself together, boy
 C
Big jump, big jump
     G
You haven't got forever, boy
 C
Big jump, big jump
    G
And if it feels like heaven, well
        F
Now it feels like heaven and
 G
When it feels like heaven, I

[Chorus]
C             G       F      C
