Bm D A G Bm D A G
[Verse]
Bm D
The waves sound like cannons tonight
A G
Aimin' straight for your heart
Bm D
I strike a fuse in the fading light
A G
Just as the summer goes dark
[Instrumental]
Bm A G
[Verse]
Bm D
And everybody's got a fall back plan
A G
A place to be when the lights go down
Bm D
Girl you've always been my main event
G A
A show stopper in this rip tide town
[Chorus]
D
I know if feels like a long shot baby
A
Two broken hearts in a leap of faith
Bm
A faint heart never won fair lady
G A
And loosin' you is more than I can take
D
And I won't sit on the shoreline
A
As love slips through our hands
Bm A G
And hearts break on the coast of California
A
They wash away like footprints in the sand
[Instrumental]
Bm A
[Verse]
Bm D
The bright colours of the boardwalk lights
A G
Shine on your face
Bm D
All of the noise from the carnival rides
A G
Can't drown out the pain
Bm D
But call me out on my hard luck baby
A G
I need redemption tonight
Bm D
Scatter your troubles like stars on the water
A G
Let ‘em go with the tides
[Chorus]
D
I know if feels like a long shot baby
A
Two broken hearts in a leap of faith
Bm
A faint heart never won fair lady
G A
And loosin' you is more than I can take
D
And I won't sit on the shoreline
A
As love slips through our hands
Bm A G
And hearts break on the coast of California
A
They wash away like footprints in the sand
[Instrumental]
Bm A G D Bm A G A
[Outro]
D
I know if feels like a long shot baby
A
Two broken hearts in a leap of faith
Bm
A faint heart never won fair lady
G A
And loosin' you is more than I can take
D
And I won't sit on the shoreline
A
As love slips through our hands
Bm A G
And hearts break on the coast of California
A
They wash away like footprints in the sand
