(repeat part 2a & 2b two times each until the chorus)

 [ D (part 2a)]
  Up on a hill, that´s where we begin
                                     [ G (part 2b)]
  This little story, a long time ago,

                                       etc.

chorus:
[ G ]             [ D/F# *]
   Leavin' just in time
                [ Em  **]   
   Stayed here for a while
                [ F#m ]          
   Rollin' in the ocean
                [ A ] 
   Trying to catch her eye
                [ D/F# ] 
   We're caught, and say it's easy 
                [ Em ] 
   Do it just to please me
                [ F#m ]  
   Tomorrow it is different 
                [ A ]
   So I pretend, I pretend
                [ D ]   
   I'm leavin'

last chorus:

[ G ]             [ D/F# *]
   Leavin' just in time
                [ Em  **]   
   Stayed here for a while
                [ F#m ]          
   Rollin' in the ocean
                [ A ] 
   Trying to catch her eye
                [ D/F# ] 
   We're caught, and say it's easy 
                [ Em ] 
   Do it just to please me
                [ F#m ]  
   Tomorrow it is different 
                [ A ]             [ Gm ]
   And this is why I'm leavin'
