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
