G It was the summer after my senior year Am7 We spent the whole week out on that pier C She said boy I think I love you, G I said I love you too G We ended up drunk at some old ink shop Am7 She said get my name, I said hell why not C G She didn't have to work too hard to talk me into Am7 C G Mm mm a tattoo on a sunburn Chorus: G Am7 Everytime that saltwater breeze blows in Am7 C I find myself laying right there in C G A kicked back, jet black leather seat G The hum and the buzz and the sting of that needle Am7 C Faded away but I guess some people never do G/B Am7 Losing you is the only thing worse G Than a tattoo on a sunburn As I held her on her hotel balcony I remember wishing she would come back with me Guess a boy can dream But we both knew it wouldn't work When I came too, she was already gone Hammer down, due west to Arkansas I laughed through the pain and swore it didn't hurt Mmm, tattoo on a sunburn Chorus: And everytime that saltwater breeze blows in I find myself laying right there In a kicked back, jet black, leather seat The hum and the buzz, and the sting of that needle Faded away, but I guess some people never do Losing you is the only thing worse Than, a tattoo on a sunburn G It's covered up with some new ink now Am7 The rest of the world ain't got a clue about C G The name of a girl that I ain't seen since that day G I don't think about her all the time Am7 When their stacking the chairs right before the tide C I can still hear her voice come crashing down G with the waves Chorus: Everytime that saltwater breeze blows in I find myself laying right there In a kicked back, jet black, leather seat The hum and the buzz, and the sting of that needle Faded away, but I guess some people never do Losing you is the only thing worse Than, a tattoo on a sunburn A tattoo on a sunburn You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm7 C G B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
