E MajorE
Verse 1:
E MajorE
We went to the beach
Every year, the middle of June
We crammed into that Astrovan
A augmentedA
Tighter than a can of sardines
E MajorE
And we went to the beach
We fought in the back
And dad got mad
And mama rolled the windows down
A augmentedA
"Y'all smell the salt of the beach?"
BB
Well, it was double beds
C# minorC#m
With a kitchenette
A augmentedA
Bedspreads of sea-foam green
BB C# minorC#m
It was sunburns and taking turns
E MajorE BB
On boogie boards we'd bring
C# minorC#m E MajorE
Even if we spent every single cent to stay across the street
E MajorE
We went to the beach
Verse 2:
E MajorE
We mowed a few yards
I filled a coffee can with some Benjamins
A augmentedA
Just a couple of friends
E MajorE A augmentedA
Barely seventeen
E MajorE
And we went to the beach
And in the middle of March
Before real life starts
A augmentedA
Partied so hard
We could barely remember a thing
BB C# minorC#m
It was PBRs and tiki bars
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
Don't take my fake I.D
BB C# minorC#m
It was cigarettes, girls we just met
E MajorE A augmentedA
And making out on lifeguard seats
BB C# minorC#m E MajorE A augmentedA
And those polaroids of me and the boys is all the proof I need
BB A augmentedA
E MajorE
And we went to the beach

Girl, don't you hate to leave
BB C# minorC#m E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
It's been one hell of a week
BB C# minorC#m
It was a vow, to you too, "I do."

Babe, can you believe?
BB
It was brand new tans
C# minorC#m
Brown-golden bands
E MajorE A augmentedA
Of sand all in the sheets
BB C# minorC#m E MajorE A augmentedA
If I know you and me, we only get one of these
E MajorE
And we went to the beach
