C C F F G G F F

Verse 1:
C C F F G G F F
Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
C C F F G G F F
With the sun shining down over me and you
C C F F G G F F
And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
C C F F G G F F
And I'll put my hands over your eyes, but you'll peep through


Chorus:
C C F F
And there'll be sun sun sun
G G F F
All over our bodies
C C F F
And sun sun sun
G G F F
All down our necks
C C F F
And sun sun sun
G G F F
All over our faces
C C F F
And sun sun sun
G G F F
So what the heck

Verse 2:

Cause I'll be laughing at all your silly little jokes
And we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke
All those stupid little cigarettes
And drink stupid wine
Cause it's what we needed to have a good time

Chorus:

And it was fun fun fun
When we were drinking
It was fun fun fun
When we were drunk
And it was fun fun fun
When we were laughing
It was fun fun fun
Oh it was fun

Verse 3:

Oh well I look at you and say
It's the happiest that I've ever been
And I'll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean
And she'll say
Yah well I feel all pretty happy too
And I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you

Chorus:

And there'll be
Love love love
All through our bodies
And love love love
All through our minds
And there'll be Love love love
All over her face
And Love love love
All over mine

Verse 4:

Although maybe all these moments are just in my head
I'll be thinking about them as I'm lying in bed
And all that I believe might never really come true
But in my mind I'm having a pretty good time with you

Chorus:

Oh
Five years time
I might not know you
Five years time
We might not speak
Oh
In five years time
We might not get along
In five years time
You might just prove me wrong

Oh there'll be love love love
Wherever you go
There'll be love love love
Wherever you go
There'll be love love love
Wherever you go
There'll be love love love
Wherever you go
There'll be love love love
Wherever you go
There'll be love love love
Wherever you go
There'll be love love love
Wherever you go there'll be love

About this song: 5 Years Time

According to the 5 Years Time Songfacts,this single was Noah and the Whale's commercial breakthrough. Charlie Fink told the Sunday Times: "If someone had told me the potential was there for such things to happen with the song, I would have laughed. It seems completely absurd and terrifying. But I still love it, it still means what it meant to me when I wrote it." He then acknowledged that this song has, "the ability to produce joy in people who hear it."
