Beach Rats chords by The Growlers

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
D#m

Verse 1:
          D#m
My words are weak compared to the drug
     F#                     B A#m
What can I really say to help?
   D#m                                               F#
Plus, I know what it feels like when you can’t look up
     B                A#m   D#m
I’ve had to deal with that myself

Pre-Chorus:
                                  F#     B          A#m
But I remember the sun bleeds strong and everyday under the sun
D#m                                           F#               B  A#m
And I don’t wanna scare ‘em away, I just wish we were still young


Chorus:
G#m                             F#              A#m
Beach Rats, reckless days, foul-mouthed salty kids
G#m                                      F#               A#m
All day healed by the sun and wrapped up in the ocean’s lip


Verse 2:
D#m                              F#                B    A#m
So how do we get to be so far away from the things we love
D#m                                    F#            B       A#m
So sad to see a boy’s love for the waves be replaced by a drug


Pre-Chorus:
D#m                               F#     B          A#m
But I remember the sun bleeds strong and everyday under the sun
D#m                                           F#               B  A#m
And I don’t wanna scare ‘em away, I just wish we were still young


Chorus:
G#m                             F#              A#m
Beach Rats, reckless days, foul-mouthed salty kids
G#m                                      F#               A#m
All day healed by the sun and wrapped up in the ocean’s lip

D#m                                         F#               B A#m
Strawberry noses, snakeskin backs and knees all covered in wax
D#m                                       F#                     B A#m
Showoffs begging for attention, trying to show ‘em that we’re rad
          D#m                         F#              B A#m
It’s easy to forget about the world outside of the town
   D#m                                             F#              B  A#m
Feeling free with no rules in the sea, but even fish eventually drown

G#m                             F#              A#m
Beach Rats, reckless days, foul-mouthed salty kids
G#m                                      F#               A#m
All day healed by the sun and wrapped up in the ocean’s lip
