            D         A     Em   Bm
I spent the summer in Santa Cruz
            D             A
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

And sink or swim, divin' in is the
D/F#        G
best way to learn
            A                Bm
Kick up the sand 'cause your tan proves
    D/F#             G
you lived through the burn
             A              Bm
And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
    D/F#           G                 Bm A

          D            A
She had a shark on her arm,
         Em           Bm
a pirate shredin' the gnar

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