Weezer: Surf Wax America 
by Rivers Cuomo 
 
Here's Surf Wax America. For all those who don't have the Weezer 
album, I highly recommend it, especially if you like Nirvana.

{With intro} 
 
The sea is foamin' like a bottle of beer 
The wave is comin' but I ain't got no fear 
I'm waxing down so that I'll go real fast 
I'm waxing down because it's really a blast 
 
{Without intro/With Distortion} 
D/A       C/G            G 
I'm going surfing 'cuz I don't like your face 
D/A         C/G           G 
I'm bailing out because I hate the race 
D/A          C/G           G 
of rats that run round and round in the maze 
D/A       C/G       G 
I'm going surfin',  I'm going surfin' 
 

C/G           D/A 
You take your car to work               Note: the C/E sounds good when 
C/E          G                                you play with the album. 
I'll take my board                            If you play alone, an E/B 
C/G             D/A                           sounds better 
And when you're out of fuel 
C/E       G 
I'm still afloat 
 
D/A         C/G              G 
My buddies and their homies all come along 
D/A         C/G         G 
They seem invincible as they surf along 
D/A        C/G            G 
The sea is rollin' like a thousand pound keg 
D/A         C/G      G 
We're goin' surfin', we're goin' surfin' 
 
C/G           D/A 
You take your car to work 
C/E          G 
I'll take my board 
C/G             D/A 
And when you're out of fuel 
C/E       G 
I'm still afloat 
 
{INTERLUDE} 
A/E   C/G     G 
All along the undertow 
   A/E       C/G     G 
is strengthening its hold 
A/E     C/G          G 
I never thought it'd come to this 
A/E       C/G      G 
Now I can never go home 
 
 
"Maybe it's just a coincidence 
 or maybe she doesn't know what to get; 
 But why does it seem like every year's 
 a toolbox Christmas?"
