            D         A     Em   Bm
I spent the summer in Santa Cruz

And I met a blonde on the beach with
        Bm       G
lots of quirky tattoos
             D         A
She had that old movie quote,
                   Em      Bm
"We're gonna need a bigger boat"
         D            A
Two tiny waves on her toes and
       Bm            G
turtle tracks on her collarbones

Kick up the sand 'cause your tan proves
    D/F#             G
you lived through the burn

And I met a blonde on the beach with

          D            A
She had a shark on her arm,
         Em           Bm
a pirate shredin' the gnar
       D           A                  Bm
An octopus wearin' shades and seagull wings
       G
on her shoulder blades

 And set your troubles afloat"

          A                Bm
And if it don't float your boat,
         D/F#          G
learn to swim with the sharks
