🎸 Verse :

      D MajorD     A augmentedA   E minorEm  B minorBm
I spent the summer in Santa Cruz
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
And I met a blonde on the beach with
    B minorBm    G+G
lots of quirky tattoos
       D MajorD     A augmentedA
She had that old movie quote,
          E minorEm   B minorBm
"We're gonna need a bigger boat"
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
Two tiny waves on her toes and
    B minorBm      G+G
turtle tracks on her collarbones

🎸 Pre-Chorus:

E minorEm
      G+G     A augmentedA
I asked her what they meant
E minorEm      B minorBm    A augmentedA
 And this is what she said


🎸 Chorus:

     A augmentedA      B minorBm
You gotta go with the flow
      D/F#D/F#     G+G
'cause the tides always turnin'
      A augmentedA      B minorBm
And sink or swim, divin' in is the
D/F#D/F#    G+G
best way to learn
      A augmentedA        B minorBm
Kick up the sand 'cause your tan proves
  D/F#D/F#       G+G
you lived through the burn
       A augmentedA       B minorBm
And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
  D/F#D/F#      G+G         B minorBm A augmentedA
You can't stop the waves but you can learn

how to surf

And by the way, it's okay,

She had a shark on her arm,
     E minorEm      B minorBm
a pirate shredin' the gnar

An octopus wearin' shades and seagull wings
    G+G
on her shoulder blades
