Intro -
Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
With the sun shining down over me and you
And there?ll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I?ll put my hands over your eyes, but you?ll peep through
And there?ll be sun sun sun all over our bodies
And sun sun sun all down our necks
And sun sun sun all over our faces
And sun sun sun so what the heck
Cos I?ll be laughing at all your silly little joke
And we?ll be laughing about how we used to smoke
All those stupid little cigarettes and drink stupid wine
Cos it?s what we needed to have a good time
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
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 "Yeah well I feel all pretty happy too
And I?m always pretty happy when I?m just kicking back with you"
And it?ll be love love love all through our bodies
And love love love all through our minds
And it be love love love all over her face
And love love love all over mine
Although maybe all these moments are just in my head
I?ll be thinking ?bout them as I?m laying in bed
And all that I believe they might never really come true
But in my mind I?m havin? a pretty good time with you
Five years time I might not know you
Five years time we might not speak at all
In five years time we might not get along
In five years time you might just prove me wrong
There?ll be love love love wherever you go x4

Chords are right but in the wrong place over the lyrics which I wouldn't let sway my vote if we didn't already have so many tabs for this.

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."
