Intro:

Asus2

Here by the sea and sand nothing ever goes as planned,

D D E E

I just couldn't face going home

A Asus4 A

It was just a drag on my own.

Asus2

They finally threw me out, my mother got drunk on stout,

D D E E

My dad couldn't stand on two feet,

A Asus4 A

As he lectured about morality.

D D E E

Now I guess the family's complete,

G D

With me hanging 'round on the street

D A

Or here on the beach.

Cadd9 G/B Am

The girl I love is a perfect dresser,

Fmaj7 Em D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D

Wears every fashion gets it to the tee.

Cadd9 G/B Am

Heavens above, I got to match her

Fmaj7 Em D Dsus4 D

She knows just how she wants her man to be

Dsus4 D G G

Leave it to me.

A A/G A A G D/A

My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked

A A/G A A G D/A

Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck

A A/G A A G D/A

I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat

A A/G A A D/A

I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet.

I see her dance, across the ballroom

UV light making starshine of her smile.

I am the face, she has to know me,

I'm dressed up better than anyone within a mile.

So how come the other tickets look much better?

Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter.

How come the girls come on oh so cool

But yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool?

Come sleep on the beach, keep within my reach

I just want to die with you near I'm feeling so high with you here.

I'm wet and I'm cold but thank God I ain't old

Why didn't I ever say what I mean?

I should have split home at fifteen

There's a story that the grass is so green,

What did I see? Where have I been?

G D D A

Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand

D/A A A/G A A G D/A

D/A A G D/A

I'm the face if you want it...
