[Verse 1]
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.
[Verse 2]
C Esus4
The girl I love
Asus4
Is a perfect dresser,
Fmaj9 Em
Wears every fashion
D
Gets it to the tee.
C Esus4
Heavens above,
Asus2
I got to match her
Fmaj9
She knows just how
Em D
She wants her man to be
Leave it to me.
[Verse 3]
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.
[Verse 4]
C Esus4
I see her dancing
Asus2
Across the ballroom
Fmaj9 Em
UV light making starshine
D
Of her smile.
C Esus4
I am the face,
Asus2
She has to know me,
Fmaj9 Em
I'm dressed up better than anyone
D
Within a mile.
[Verse 5]
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?
[Verse 6]
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
