and discuss all the vast intricacies of life.

We could jaw  through the night

talk about a range of subjects, anything you like.

Chorus:
       C            G           D
But we always came back to the song we were singing

Yeah, we always came back to the song we were
singing
   C        G      G  D
At any particular time

Take a sip, see the world through a glass
And speculate about a cosmic solution
To the sound, blue guitars
Caught up in a philosophical discussion
Oh yeah

But we always came back to the songs we were
singing
At any particular time
Yes, we always came back to the songs we were
singing
At any particular time
