[Intro]
C F G x2
[Verse 1]
C Dm G
Everybody needs a by the sea affair
C Dm G
Where you get the urge from something in the air
Am Em Am Em
Helter Skelter on a mat, Kiss me Quick is on my hat
Am Em F G
And you do it on the ghost train for a dare
[Chorus]
C F C F
Wishing you were here, same as every year
C Am F G
Cause our summer madness is too short
C F C F
Wishing you were here, where the sunshine's near
C Am F G
Is it true that wishes can be bought?
[Verse 2]
C Dm G
Everybody needs the moonlight on the beach
C Dm G
Where the water's cold and no one hears you screech
Am Em Am Em
Getting buried in the sand, what you holding in your hand?
Am Em F G
Let it go or else I'll keep it out of reach
[Chorus]
C F C F
Wishing you were here, same as every year
C Am F G
Cause our summer madness is too short
C F C F
Wishing you were here, where the sunshine's near
C Am F G
Is it true that wishes can be bought?
[Middle 8]
Am Em
The last night you dressed to kill
Am Em
Will you write? You say you will
F Am G
Sometimes hopes just drift away
[Verse 3]
C Dm G
Everybody needs to have a sea romance
C Dm G
When the world around just doesn't stand a chance
Am Em Am Em
Candy floss stuck on your nose and your donkey's name was Rose
Am Em F G
What's this cheek to cheek in every single dance?
[Chorus]
C F C F
Wishing you were here, same as every year
C Am F G
Cause our summer madness is too short
C F C F
Wishing you were here, where the sunshine's near
C Am F G
Is it true that wishes can be bought?
