Asus2
Here by the sea and sand


Nothing ever goes as planned,

                D              E
I just couldn't face going home

              A
It was just a drag on my own.

    Asus2
They finally threw me out


My mother got drunk on stout,
                  
                        D         E
My dad couldn't stand on two feet,

                    A
As he lectured about morality.

                D                 E
Now I guess the families complete,
         
                    G        D 
With me hanging round on the street

               A
Or here on the beach.


C          Emsus4
The girl I love

Amsus4
Is a perfect dresser,

Fmaj9           Em
Wears every fashion

            D
Gets it to the tee.

C        Emsus4   
Heavens above, 

Amsus2
I got to match her

    Fmaj9
She knows just how

    Em               D
She wants her man to be


Leave it to me.


G D A
My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked

G D A
Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck

G D A
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat

G D A
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet.


C             Emsus4
I see her dancing

Amsus2
Across the ballroom

Fmaj9           Em
UV light making starshine

       D
Of her smile.

C         Emsus4
I am the face,

Amsus2
She has to know me,

    Fmaj9                   Em
I'm dressed up better than anyone

         D
Within a mile.


   A
So how come the other tickets look much better?

G D A
Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter.

G D A
How come the girls come on oh so cool

G D A
Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool?


Asus2
Come sleep on the beach


Keep within my reach

                   D
I just want to die with you near

E                  A
I'm feeling so high with you here.

Asus2
I'm wet and I'm cold


But thank God I ain't old

                D
Why didn't I say what I mean?

E                        A
I should have split home at fifteen




                         D                 E
There's a story that the grass is so green,

G          D
What did I see?

             A
Where have I been?


G          D                           A
Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand
