          G#
Well its quarter to four
                                    C#
We're hanging out at the pizza place
          G#
And we've all got our boards
                               D#
Later on we're gonna catch the waves
      G#
Well that's what I said when I left her in bed
          C#
With the radio on and the book she read
          G#
Let the truth be known
        D#                 G#
I just wanna date a surfer babe

Chorus:
                             C#
I hope I'm not a little too late
                                Fm
I never know what you're gonna say
     D#
You don't think you're my type
        C#
But you are, but you are, but you are, but you are
         G#
You know I just
                                C#
Don't know how I'm gonna get through this
Thing that I've been feeling for
Fm          D#
You don't think I know your name
      C#
But I do, but I do, but I do
You're a surfer babe

You know it's hard when things
Never seem to ever wanna go your way
But I got this feeling
That it's not gonna happen today
You know I've looked all around for a girl in LA
And you're the prettiest face that has walked my way
Since I met you girl

Chorus

               C#                       G#
And i've been waiting for the girl like you
      C#                    Cm
Anticipating how to make my move
              F                     F#
Coz there is nothing I would rather do
                            D#
Than catch some waves with you

Chorus:
Babe, I hope I'm not a little too late
I never know what you gonna say
You don't think you're my type
But you are, but you are, but you are, but you are
You know
I just dont know how I'm gonna get through
This thing that I've been feeling for you
Don't think I know your name
But I do, but I do, but I do
You're a surfer babe
