[Verse 1]
Asus2
Here by the sea and sand
Nothing ever goes as planned,
                D              E
I just couldn't face going home
              A
It was just a drag on my own.
    Asus2
They finally threw me out
My mother got drunk on stout,               
                        D         E
My dad couldn't stand on two feet,
                    A
As he lectured about morality.
                D                E
Now I guess the families complete,        
                    G        D 
With me hanging round on the street
               A
Or here on the beach.


[Verse 2]
C          Esus4
The girl I love
Asus4
Is a perfect dresser,
Fmaj9           Em
Wears every fashion
            D
Gets it to the tee.
C        Esus4   
Heavens above, 
Asus2
I got to match her
    Fmaj9
She knows just how
    Em               D
She wants her man to be
Leave it to me.


[Verse 3]
G D A
My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
G D A
Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck
G D A
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
G D A
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet.


[Verse 4]
C             Esus4
I see her dancing
Asus2
Across the ballroom
Fmaj9           Em
UV light making starshine
       D
Of her smile.
C         Esus4
I am the face,
Asus2
She has to know me,
    Fmaj9                   Em
I'm dressed up better than anyone
         D
Within a mile.


[Verse 5]
   A
So how come the other tickets look much better?
G D A
Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter.
G D A
How come the girls come on oh so cool
G D A
Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool?


[Verse 6]
Asus2
Come sleep on the beach
Keep within my reach
                   D
I just want to die with you near
E                  A
I'm feeling so high with you here.
Asus2
I'm wet and I'm cold
But thank God I ain't old
                D
Why didn't I say what I mean?
E                        A
I should have split home at fifteen

                         D                 E
There's a story that the grass is so green,
G          D
What did I see?
             A
Where have I been?
G          D                           A
Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand
