I know that you're smiling, baby,  
                                                  G 
I don't even need to see your face  
C                
Sunset at the shoreline, we are laughing, breaking up, 
       G 
Just like the waves  
              C 
Are you feeling, feeling, feeling like I'm, feeling  
               G 
Like I'm floating, floating, up above that big blue ocean  
C 
Sand beneath our feet, big blue sky above our heads,  
                      G			            D 
No need to keep stressing from our everyday life on our minds  
C                                                   G 
We have got to leave all that behind  
  
C     G     C     G 

           C 
Well, I have got a sister,  
		            G 
And she has got a baby with brand new eyes  
               C 
And her daddy is an engineer,  
                                                                 G 
And they just took her to the sea for the first time  
                       C 
Now they're under, under, underneath a big umbrella  
G				            D 
Summer, summer, summer time to help us forget, nine to fives  
C                                                  G 
We have got to leave all that behind  

C     G     C    G    Am    D    Am    D 

G        Em            Am             D 
I have worries to give to the sea  
G           Em                 Am		D 
We can walk dear the pier is farther than it seems  

C 
Midnight at the shoreline, fireworks above us  
    G 
A screaming bloom  
             C 
They're sent by some teenager and kid whoever you are  
         G 
I am thanking you  
                    C 
Now we're dancing, dancing, dancing with no music  
               G 
What is happening, happening, happening and no feelings  
            D 
Except this is right  
C                                                  G 
We just had to leave all that behind
