[Intro] x4
[E]
[Verse 1]
[E]We went to the beach
Every year, the middle of June
We crammed into that Astrovan
[A]Tighter than a can of sardines
And we went to the [E]beach
We fought in the back
And dad got mad
And mama rolled the windows down
"Y'all s[A]mell the salt of the beach?"
[B]Well, it was double beds
With a kit[C#m]chenette
Bedspreads of sea-foam g[A]reen
It was sun[B]burns and t[C#m]aking turns
On bo[E]ogie boards we'd b[B]ring
Even if we spent every [C#m]single cent to s[E]tay across the street
We went to the bea[E]ch
[Verse 2]
[E]We mowed a few yards
I filled a coffee can with some Benjamins
Just a co[A]uple of friends
[E]Barely seventeen[A]
And we went to the be[E]ach
And in the middle of March
Before real life starts
[A]Partied so hard
We could barely remember a thing
It was P[B]BRs and t[C#m]iki bars
Don't t[E]ake my fa[B]ke [A]I.D
It was cigar[B]ettes, girls [C#m]we just met
And making o[E]ut on lifeguard s[A]eats
[B]And those polaroids of [C#m]me and the boys is a[E]ll the proof I nee[A]d
[B] [A]
And we went to the [E]beach

[B]Girl, [C#m]don't you h[E]ate to le[A]ave
[B]It's be[C#m]en one [E]hell of a we[A]ek[E]
I[B]t was a vow, to you too, "I [C#m]do."
[E]Babe, can you believe?
It was [B]brand new tans
Brown-g[C#m]olden bands
Of s[E]and all in the s[A]heets
[B]If I know you and [C#m]me, we only g[E]et one of th[A]ese
And we went to the b[E]each
[Outro]
