C C                                        Am Am
So there we were, back home from somewhere inside my head
C C G G
Oh, bravely I fought off the monsters beneath her bed
C C Am Am
Pillars of postwar books supported by frame of mind
C C G G
While she memorized the pages that I tried to not hide behind
C C Am Am
She took my hand in hers and whispered her love for me
C C G G
The lantern died that night but we didn't need to see
C C Am Am
Implying that she's the bee's knees and I am the cat's meow
C C G G
it's funny how she recalls what I can't remember now


[Chorus]
Dm Dm C C Am Am G G Dm Dm
But when her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible
C C F F Am Am G G
She gave me a heart attack just because she looked so adorable
Dm Dm C C Am Am
We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and
G G Dm Dm
vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
F F Am Am F F G G F F G G
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn...I got a sunburn

[Verse 2, Same chords as Verse 1]
C C Am Am
So there we were out there, unaware of where we'd been
C C G G
We kicked off our flip-flops and swung from the rooftops again
C C Am Am
it's awkward but I'll confess she's all I can think about
C C G G
And it's funny how I recall what she can't remember now

[Chorus]
Dm Dm C C Am Am G G Dm Dm
But when her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible
C C F F Am Am G G
She gave me a heart attack just because she looked so adorable
Dm Dm C C Am Am
We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and
G G Dm Dm
vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
F F Am Am F F G G
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn

[Break, no lyrics]
C C, Am Am, F F
C C, G G, Am Am, F F


[Bridge]
C C F F
Oh, afterglow, look out below
Am Am G G
We left a trail of dust behind
C C F F
As we parted ways, she held my gaze
Am Am G G
And left an imprint on my mind
C C F F Am Am
I tried not to cry as we said goodbye
G G
And hung the clouds above my town
C C F F Am Am
But I shed a tear when she disappeared
G G
Cause now I'm a stranger on the ground


[Chorus]
Dm Dm C C Am Am G G Dm Dm
When her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible
C C F F Am Am G G
She gave me a heart attack
Dm Dm C C Am Am
We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and
G G Dm Dm
vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
F F Am Am F F G G C C
But she got a tan, and I got a sunburn
F F Am Am F F G G C C
She got a tan, and I got a sunburn
F F Am Am F F G G C C
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn
