We Went To The Beach

	  		
Intro: E (4x) 

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

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
