A D
We can ride our bikes to the beach
G D A
Where kids are running ... control with words on the street
A D
We can comb our hair with the wind
G D A
We're talking with our shoulders and the shades of our skin
A D
And surfers smile up at the reef
G D A
But girls keep reading Cosmopolitan magazines
G
They'll tell you how to touch
How to talk
D A
How to fuck how to breathe
A D
And we can have a talk about love
G D A
Or inter God or anything that's hard to believe
Bm E A F#m D A
But sometimes it's so hard to unwind
Bm E
And sometimes you make it easier
Instrumental:
A D G D A
A D G D A
(same as before)
You can marry me in the sand
... so I’m your ideal man
But sometimes it's so hard to unwind
And sometimes you make it easier
A D
We can ride our bikes to the beach
We can ride our bikes to the beach
We can ride our bikes to the beach
G D A
Or we can stay at home and study
