(Verse 1)
It was the (G) summer after my senior year
We (Am)spent the whole week out on that pier
She said (G)boy I think I love you, I said I love you too (G)
(D) We (G)ended up drunk at some old ink shop
She said (Am)get my name, I said hell why not
She didn't (C)have to work too hard to talk me in-(G)-to

(Pre-Chorus)
(Am)Mm, mm, (C) a tattoo on a sun-(G)burn

(Chorus)
(G) Everytime that saltwater breeze blows (Am)in
I find myself (Am)laying right there (C)in
A kicked back, jet (C)black leather seat (G)
The (G)hum and the buzz and the sting of that needle
(Am)Faded away but I guess some people never (C)do
Losing (G/B)you is the only thing (Am)worse
Than a tattoo on a (G)sunburn / / / |(Am) / (C)

(Verse 2)
As I (G)held her on her hotel balcony
I re-(Am)member wishin' she would come back with me
I guess a (C)boy can dream but we both knew it wouldn't work (G)
When (G)I came to she was already gone
(Am)Hammer down due west to Arkansas
I (C)laughed through the pain and swore it didn't hurt (G)

(Pre-Chorus)
(Am)Mm, (C)mm, a tattoo on a (G)sunburn

(Chorus)
(G) Everytime that saltwater breeze blows (Am)in
I find myself (Am)laying right there (C)in
A kicked back, jet (C)black leather seat (G)
The (G)hum and the buzz and the sting of that needle
(Am)Faded away but I guess some people never (C)do
Losing (G/B)you is the only thing (Am)worse
Than a tattoo on a (G)sunburn

(Verse 3)
(G) It's covered up with some new ink now
The (Am)rest of the world ain't got a clue about
The (C)name of a girl that I ain't seen since that (G) day
(D)(G) I don't think about her all the time
When their (Am)stacking the chairs right before the tide
I can (C)still hear her voice come crashing down with the waves (G)

(Chorus)
(G) Everytime that saltwater breeze blows (Am)in
I find myself (Am)laying right there (C)in
A kicked back, jet (C)black leather seat (G)
The (G)hum and the buzz and the sting of that needle
(Am)Faded away but I guess some people never (C)do
Losing (G/B)you is the only thing (Am)worse
Than a tattoo on a (G)sunburn
