This is a really awesome song by USS, about falling in love while surfing, and then you crash and it all
falls apart, and you get bitten by starfish even though they don't even have F***ING mouths. But then you get
back on the board and fall in love with the next beach babe.Ash has been performing this song since before

never released on an album, studio version here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCb7JiUCKsw and an acoustic

VERSE
Ebmin-Ab-C#-Bb
Looking in like an x-ray, Can you sell me if I run away?
Luck is late when you're not brave, Same clock brings another day
You're getting out of your own way, Can I be there when you're wide awake?
Looking out for a next wave, Can today be someday?
CHORUS
Ebmin-Ab-C#-Bb
How can I earn this ride? Book me for another wave
How can I not lie? Freaking out while I run a maze, run a maze
How can I not cry? Aching for another wave
How can I not try? She making me go, go, go, out of her mind
BRIDGE
Ebmin-Ab-C#-Bb
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to big wave smash ups
It's Mavericks vs. Jeff Clark, He comes in, it's Sunday afternoon, The waves come crashing
Mavericks can't stop him, He's going right for it, He's focusedHe's committed, He drops in, We can't see him
Mavericks has overtaken him, We can't
Wait, Wait, Wait, What is this? Ladies and gentlemen! Jeff Clark remains heroic!
Here today, in northern California, off the coast, Mavericks loses, Mavericks loses
Jeff Clark prevails, once more
CHORUS
Ebmin-Ab-C#-Bb
How can I earn this ride? Book me for another wave
How can I not lie? Freaking out while I run a maze, run a maze
How can I not cry? Aching for another wave
How can I not try? She making me go, go, go
How can I earn this ride? Book me for another wave
How can I not lie? Freaking out while I run a maze, run a maze
How can I not cry? Aching for another wave
How can I not try?
