F 
  End of May or Early June 
   Am                            Bb 
This picture perfect afternoon we shared 
F 
  Drive the winding country road 
Am 
   Grab a scoop at A La Mode 
     Bb 
And then we're there 
 
F 
  An open field that's framed with trees 
 Am                               
We pick a spot and shoot the breeze 
   Bb 
Like buddies do 
 
 F 
Quoting songs by our favorite bands 
Am 
   Telling jokes no one understands 
  Bb 
Except us two 
      Dm       Bb           C 
And we talk and take in the view 
 
F               Bb 
  All we see is sky for forever 
F                    Bb 
  Let the world pass by for forever 
F                        Bb                   G 
  Feels like we could go on for forever this way 
      Bb        C         F 
Two friends on a perfect day 
 
F 
  We walk a while and we talk about 
    Am                               Bb 
The things we'll do when we get out of school 
F 
  Bike the Appalachian trail or 
Am 
   Write a book, or learn to sail 
          Bb 
Wouldn't that be cool 
 
Bb 
There's nothing that we can't discuss 
      F                                 Bb 
Like girls we wish would notice us but never do 
Bb  
He looks around and says to me 
      F  
"There's nowhere else I'd rather be" 
     Bb  
I say "me too" 
 
        Dm       Bb          C                
And we talk and take in the view 
         Dm       Bb          C 
We just talk and take in the view 
 
F               Bb 
  All we see is sky for forever 
F                    Bb 
  Let the world pass by for forever 
F                        Bb                   Eb 
  Feels like we could go on for forever this way 
      Bb   
This way 
 
F               Bb 
  All we see is sky for forever 
F                    Bb 
  Let the world pass by for forever 
F                        Bb                   G 
  Feels like we could go on for forever this way 
      Bb        C         F 
Two friends on a perfect day 
 
     G# 
And there he goes racing toward the tallest tree 
      C#                                      G#         Fm 
From far across the yellow field I hear him calling "follow me" 
    Bb       Gm      
And there we go 
           F 
Wondering how the world might look from up so high 
 
Eb 
   One foot after the other 
 
One branch then to another 
F                      Bb 
  I climb higher and higher 
F                      Gm 
  I climb until the entire 
Gm                Eb 
Sun shines on my face 
 
        F                 Bb        Eb 
And I suddenly feel the branch give way 
             Bb 
I'm on the ground 
             F   Gm 
My arm goes numb 
         Bb 
I look around 
 
And I see him coming to get me 
 F 
He's coming to get me 
    Eb           F 
And everything's okay 
 
G                 C 
  All we see is sky for forever 
G         D        G  C 
Let the world pass by for forever 
G              C                   F 
Buddy, you and I for forever this way 
      C                
This way 
 
G                  C 
  All we see is light 
G                       C 
 'Cause the sun burns bright 
D              G    C                     F 
  We could be all right for forever this way 
G 
  Two friends 
C 
True friends 
    D         G 
On a perfect day
