[Intro]
D F#m Em G A
[Verse 1]
D
Six acres of concrete wasteland,
F#m
One sunflower standing tall.
Em G A
I didn't know your name, I didn't know your fame, I just liked you, that's all
[Instrumental]
D F#m Em G A
[Verse 2]
D F#m
I can not buy you diamond rings, for Christ sake! I can barely sing
Em G A D
...I feel like a teenager in danger of doing that "falling for" thing
D F#m Em
I didn't mean for this to happen but the greatest things happen
Em G
By accident, like the apple... on Issac's head.
[Chorus]
Bm D
We sat for hours, you measured your thumb against mine
G
Electricity, shooting down my spine.
A Bm D
We sat for hours, we waited 'til the sun went down
G A
Alighted the night bus, nowhere near this town...
[Instrumental]

Six acres of concrete wasteland,

One sunflower standing tall,
Em G A
I didn't know your name, I didn't know your fame, I just proper liked you, that's all
D F#m
We talked historys and pasts,
Em
I let you read the second draft,
G
Converging through the afternoon.
[Chorus]
Bm D
We sat for hours, you measured your thumb against mine
G
Electricity, shooting down my spine.
A Bm D
We sat for hours, you weathered my monologue,
G A
A burning beacon, brilliant through the fog.

D F#m
Standing out from the crowd. That's just the way you are,

To look that good should not be allowed, our local movie star.

The girls look on in envy, you guys look on in envy
Em G
Be la de da de da da da de dum
