Chords:

so just listen to the song its very easy (and beautiful). The chords will

not be over the lyrics in the right spot.

Intro

B C F♯ G

BI kCnow that you're smiling, baby, I don't even F♯needG to see your face

Sunset at the shoreline, we are laughing, breaking up, just like the waves

Are you feeling, feeling, feeling like I'm, feeling like I'm

Floating, floating, up above that big blue ocean

Sand beneath our feet, big blue sky above our heads, no need to keep

GStressing from our everyday life, on Dour minds,

CWe have got to leave all that behind

Well, I have got a sister, and she has got a baby, with brand new eyes

And her daddy is an engineer, and they just took her to the sea for, the first time

Now they're under, under, underneath a big umbrella

Summer, summer, summer time to help us forget, nine to fives

We have got to leave all that behind

Solo chords

C G Am D

Am D

GI have, Emworries, Amto give to the Dsea

GWe can, Emwalk dear, Amthe pier is farther than it Dseems

Midnight at the shoreline, fireworks above us, a screaming bloom

They're sent by some teenager, and kid whoever you are, I am thanking you

Now we're dancing, dancing, dancing with no music

What is happening, happening, happening and no feelings

Except this is right

We just had to leave all that behind

End on G

It's also fun to fingerpick the top 3 strings as opposed to strumming the

entire chord. Would sound nice on a banjo or mandalin, but this works fine:
