(Intro.)
|(G) / / / |(C) / / / | x 2
(Verse)
(G) You came south from Chicago (C) in your brand-new cutoff jeans
(G) You said Pina colada (C) and I said this one’s on me
(G) I watched you sway to the music, (C) and you staying close enough to see
(G) You gave me your number, (C) said I’m staying right down the beach.
(Chorus)
And (G)we’d go down to the water and (C)drink straight from the bottle
The waves (G)rolled in and we were just setting sail (C)
(G)We rode around all summer, and (C)we knew the end was coming
At least (G)we’d have a hell of a story to (C)tell
From that sunset carousel (G) (C)
(Verse)
(G) We took off like the (D)sunrise (C) just watched those ponies spin
(G) That first time in (D)July, and (C)over and over and over again.
(Chorus)
And (G)we’d go down to the water and (C)drink straight from the bottle
The (G)waves rolled in and we were just setting sail (C)
(G)We rode around all summer and (C)we knew the end was coming
At least (G)we’d have a hell of a story to (C)tell
From that sunset carousel (G)
(Solo)
|(G) / / (D)|(C) / From that sunset carousel |(G) / / (D)|(C) / / / |
(Break)
(Am) Like a souvenir sticker, (G/B) the colors fade
(C) We held on like they wouldn’t, but then September came
(Chorus)
And (G)we’d go down to the water and (C)drink straight from the bottle
The (G)waves rolled in and we were just setting sail (C)
(G)We rode around all summer and (C)we knew the end was coming
At least (G)we’d have a hell of a story to (C)tell
From that sunset carousel (G) / / (D)|(C) From that sunset carousel
