Verse 
        F 
   Well Monday morning out of bed 
     Dm 
   I drag a comb across my head 
         F 
   Heard whispers from the avenues 
          Dm 
   Saying "C'mon gal, take a day off school" 
Am                   Bb                   F     Dm 
   The things you do    when you are young 
   F 
   Candy came and turned me on 
          Dm 
   With a Beatles revolution song 
   F 
   Had a smoke and shared a joke 
       Dm 
   And said we'd drive down to the coast 
Am                   Bb                   F     Dm 
   The things you do    when you are young 

Pre-Chorus 
           Bb 
   Well we cruised down town in a blue sedan 
            C 
   With the top rolled back as the sun beat down 
           Bb 
   And the pretty boys on the promenade 
            C 
   Shouted "C'mon girl, cos here we are". Angel 

Chorus

Verse 
         F 
   So we walk the beach for an hour or two 
        Dm 
   Just looking cool nothing else to do 
   F 
   Warm winds brushed against our face 
           Dm 
   Like an angel's kiss it's left no trace 
Am                   Bb                   F     Dm 
   The things you do    when you are young 

Pre-Chorus 
          Bb 
   As the storm cloud breaks across the bay 
       C 
   The surf-board kings have had their day 
       Bb 
   And Candy said "I've got a great idea 
         C 
   Let's get the car and drive out of here. Angel
