Verse 1:
C D G
North Carolina girl.
C D G
She blows in on the ocean breeze.
C D G
All salt air and cigarettes.
Am Em D
Freckled and free.
C D G
She dances along the beach.
C D G
Drinking deep from her Jameson.
C D G
Deceptively delicate,
F D
Strange as the sea.
Chorus:
C
We stroll through the sand.
G
Right where the sea meets land,
C G
The waves roll in as the currents shift.
Am Em D
And I think maybe I
Should let go and drift.
C D G C D G
Verse 2:
C D G
I’m just a city boy.
C D G
All neurotic anxieties.
C D G
The world and its gravity
Am Em D
Pulling me down.
C D G
But caught in her undertow,
C D G
Falling under so soft and slow,
C D G
I sink deep into nothingness,
F D
Happy to drown.
Chorus:
C
We sit in the sand,
G
Staring up hand in hand.
C G
The stars float by and the currents shift.
Am Em D
And I think maybe I
Could let go and drift.
Bridge:
F C
This carefree girl
Am
Is drawing me in like the moon
F
With her smile so wide.
F C
So I think “What the hell?”
Am D
Might as well dive in and roll with the tide.
Chorus:
C
The sun starts to rise.
G
I look into her eyes.
C G
And deep inside me the currents shift.
Am Em D
For one time in my life
I let go and drift.
C
We kiss in the sand,
G
Perfect and so unplanned.
C G
And deep inside me the currents shift.
Am Em D
For one time in my life
C D G
I let go and drift.
C D G
Just drift.
