• Capo on 2nd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
Am

Verse:
   C      F       Am
Open season on a broken heart
      C         F       Am
This is the year they take the summer apart
      C      F       Am
There is a magic to the carnival arts
     C    F   Am
And I can hear the sound

Verse:
     C        F      C Am
Is it the wind through the wonder-wheel
     C       F      Am
Is it the science of the way we feel
     C       F     C Am
Is it the quiet of that old appeal
      C   F    F G F G C
Will you be mine again?

Chorus:
                G
My love, my love, are you on a winter beach tonight
       Am           G    F      C
Waiting on a last chance rocket ride over the boardwalk
               G
Follow the noise, no one but me and the neighbourhood boys
    Am       F     C     F    Am
Will remember where we were when this went down

Verse:
     C          F      Am
The ocean calls us like we’ve never been
      C         F     Am
One hundred games that we will never win
      C         F      C Am
Close your eyes and hear the teacups spin
    C    F   C Am
As it begins to snow

Verse:
       C         F        Am
And if we’re careful that’s not all you’ll hear
       C        F     Am
The mermaids watch us steal a souvenir
      C       F     C Am
And whisper moral warnings in our ear
     C    F    F G F G C
As we are heading home

Chorus:
                G
My love, my love, are you on a winter beach tonight
       Am           G    F      C
Waiting on a last chance rocket ride over the boardwalk
               G
Follow the noise, no one but me and the neighbourhood boys
    Am       F     C     F    Am
Will remember where we were when this went down

Verse:
     C          F       Am
So take a deeper breath let’s hear you sing
        C        F     Am
And reach your hand out for an iron ring
      C         F         Am
You’ll get another chance, oh, that’s the thing
      C   F   Am
We will be back again

Verse:
      C        F     Am
The summer comes around on any clock
      C         F      Am
Awash with bathing suits and polka dots
        C        F      Am
We’ll ride the subways to their final stops
      C  F
To see the sea again
