We Went To The Beach

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
                   E
And we went to the beach
We fought in the back
And dad got mad
And mama rolled the windows down
        A
"Y'all smell the salt of the beach?"
B
Well, it was double beds
          C#m
With a kitchenette
                        A
Bedspreads of sea-foam green
          B          C#m
It was sunburns and taking turns
     E                 B
On boogie boards we'd bring
                       C#m             E
Even if we spent every single cent to stay across the street
                  E
We went to the beach

[Verse 2]
E
We mowed a few yards
I filled a coffee can with some Benjamins
         A
Just a couple of friends
E                A
Barely seventeen
                     E
And we went to the beach
And in the middle of March
Before real life starts
A
Partied so hard
We could barely remember a thing
        B        C#m
It was PBRs and tiki bars
       E        B  A
Don't take my fake I.D
            B            C#m
It was cigarettes, girls we just met
            E                A
And making out on lifeguard seats
B                      C#m                 E                 A
And those polaroids of me and the boys is all the proof I need
B A
                   E
And we went to the beach

[Bridge]
B     C#m        E        A
Girl, don't you hate to leave
B      C#m    E           A  E
It's been one hell of a week
 B                           C#m
It was a vow, to you too, "I do."
E
Babe, can you believe?
       B
It was brand new tans
       C#m
Brown-golden bands
    E               A
Of sand all in the sheets
B                 C#m          E           A
If I know you and me, we only get one of these
                    E
And we went to the beach

[Outro]
               A
We went to the beach
               E
We went to the beach
                A    B E
We went to the beach
