{With intro}

The sea is foamin' like a bottle of beer
The wave is comin' but I ain't got no fear
I'm waxing down so that I'll go real fast
I'm waxing down because it's really a blast

{Without intro/With Distortion}
D/AD/A    C/GC/G      G+G
I'm going surfing 'cuz I don't like your face
D/AD/A     C/GC/G      G+G
I'm bailing out because I hate the race
D/AD/A     C/GC/G      G+G
of rats that run round and round in the maze
D/AD/A    C/GC/G    G+G
I'm going surfin', I'm going surfin'

{CHORUS}
C/GC/G      D/AD/A
You take your car to work        Note: the C/EC/E sounds good when
C/EC/E     G+G                you play with the album.
I'll take my board              If you play alone, an E/B
C/GC/G       D/AD/A              sounds better
And when you're out of fuel
C/EC/E    G+G
I'm still afloat

D/AD/A     C/GC/G       G+G
My buddies and their homies all come along
D/AD/A     C/GC/G     G+G
They seem invincible as they surf along
D/AD/A    C/GC/G      G+G
The sea is rollin' like a thousand pound keg
D/AD/A     C/GC/G   G+G
We're goin' surfin', we're goin' surfin'

{CHORUS}
C/GC/G      D/AD/A
You take your car to work
C/EC/E     G+G
I'll take my board
C/GC/G       D/AD/A
And when you're out of fuel
C/EC/E    G+G
I'm still afloat

{INTERLUDE}
A/EA/E  C/GC/G   G+G
All along the undertow
  A/EA/E    C/GC/G   G+G
is strengthening its hold
A/EA/E   C/GC/G     G+G
I never thought it'd come to this
A/EA/E    C/GC/G   G+G
Now I can never go home

"Maybe it's just a coincidence
 or maybe she doesn't know what to get;
 But why does it seem like every year's
 a toolbox Christmas?"
