A                            D
We can ride our bikes to the beach
               G                        D          A
Where kids are running ... control with words on the street
A                             D
We can comb our hair with the wind
                        G               D              A
We're talking with our shoulders and the shades of our skin
A                            D
And surfers smile up at the reef
                G           D          A
But girls keep reading Cosmopolitan magazines


G
They'll tell you how to touch

How to talk
        D           A
How to fuck how to breathe

A                               D
And we can have a talk about love
                G               D         A
Or inter God or anything that's hard to believe

Bm         E           A      F#m    D A   
But sometimes it's so hard to unwind
Bm         E           
And sometimes you make it easier

Instrumental:
A       D      G   D   A
A       D      G   D   A

(same as before)

You can marry me in the sand
... so I?m your ideal man

But sometimes it's so hard to unwind
And sometimes you make it easier

A                               D
We can ride our bikes to the beach
We can ride our bikes to the beach
We can ride our bikes to the beach
G               D              A
Or we can stay at home and study
