[Intro]
D Bm D Bm
[Verse 1]
D Bm
Left that northern winter town
D
Drove all night, ocean bound
D Bm
A fair skinned girl barely 17
D Bm
Bikini tops, a fake ID
[Pre-Chorus]
A G
Blame it on the waves crashing
G Bm
Blame it on the lights flashing
Bm G
Blame it on those blue come-on-and-kiss me eyes
A
And summertime
[Chorus]
Bm A D
I came here looking for a little bit of sunshine
D
and a good time
Bm A D
Sea salt, boardwalk, toes in the sand
G A
I never knew somebody like you
Bm G
Would fix my heart and wreck it too
G A D
But that’s what boys and beaches do
[Verse 2]
D Bm
They keep you warm but they burn you through
D Bm
A fantasy with a perfect view
D Bm
They make you never want to leave
D Bm
Then you wake up to reality
[Pre-Chorus]
A G
So blame it on the way you kissed me
G Bm
And tell me that you’re gonna miss me
Bm G
Blame it on holding love inside of your hands
A
And like the tide, rolling out again
[Chorus]
Bm A D
I came here looking for a little bit of sunshine
D
and a good time
Bm A D
Sea salt, boardwalk, toes in the sand
G A
I never knew somebody like you
Bm G
Would fix my heart and wreck it too
G A D
But that’s what boys and beaches do
A D
They do
[Bridge]
A G
So blame it on the waves crashing
G Bm
Blame it on the lights flashing
Bm G
Blame it on the first time falling memories
A
And goodbye
[Chorus]
Bm A D
I came here looking for a little bit of sunshine
D
and a good time
Bm A D
Sea salt, boardwalk, toes in the sand
G A
I never knew somebody like you
Bm G
Would fix my heart and wreck it too
G A Bm
But that’s what boys and beaches do
G A D
Oh that’s what boys and beaches do
[Outro]
A D
That’s what they do
A D
Boys and beaches
A D
That’s what they do
