Intro : C G Dm Am C G Am F
C G DmAm
I spent the summer in santa cruz
C G
And I met a blonde on the beach
Am F
With lots of quirky tattoos
C G
She had that old movie quote
Dm Am
"we're gonna need a bigger boat"
C G
Two tiny waves on her toes
Am F
And turtle tracks on her collarbones
Dm F G
I asked her what they meant
Dm Am G
And this is what she said
Chorus :
G Am
You gotta go with the flow
Em F
Cuz the tides always turn
G Am
And sink or swim, diving in
Em F
Is the best way to learn
G Am
Kick up the sand cuz your tan
Em F
Proves you lived through the burn
G Am
And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
Em F
You can't stop the waves
Am G
But you can learn how to surf
Interlude : G Am Em F
G Am
And by the way, it's okay
Em F
It could always be worse
G Am
Yeah when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
Em F
You can't stop the waves
Am G C
But you can learn how to surf
Interlude : C G Dm Am
C G
I met a blonde on the beach
Am F
With lots of quirky tattoos
C G
She had a shark on her arm
Dm Am
A pirate shredding the gnar
C G
An octopus wearing shades
Am F
And seagull wings on her shoulder blades
Dm F G
I asked her what they meant
Dm Am G
And this is what she said
Chorus :
G Am
You gotta go with the flow
Em F
Cuz the tides always turn
G Am
And sink or swim, diving in
Em F
Is the best way to learn
G Am
Kick up the sand cuz your tan
Em F
Proves you lived through the burn
G Am
And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
Em F
You can't stop the waves
Am G
But you can learn how to surf
Interlude : G Am Em F
G Am
And by the way, it's okay
Em F
It could always be worse
G Am
Yeah when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
Em F
You can't stop the waves
Am G Dm
But you can learn how to surf
C F
Go with the flow
G
Then she said when you're sad
Am
And you feel alone
F
Write them down,
Am G
All your worries and woes
F
Go with the flow
G
Then fold em up, cork it shut
Am
And let that bottle go
F G C
And set your troubles afloat
Interlude : G Am Em F
Chorus :
G Am
She told me hey, seas the day
Em F
Know the ocean by heart
G Am
And if it don't float your boat
Em F
Learn to swim with the sharks
G Am
Kick up the sand cuz your tan
Em F
Proves you lived through the burn
G Am
And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
Em F
You can't stop the waves
G Am
Yeah when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
Em F
You can't stop the waves
Am G
But you can learn how to surf
Interlude : G Am Em F
G Am
And by the way, it's okay
Em F
It could always be worse
G Am
Yeah when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
Em F
You can't stop the waves
Am G C
But you can learn how to surf
