I spent the summer in Santa Cruz

She had that old movie quote,

"We're gonna need a bigger boat"
          D#           A#              Cm
Two tiny waves on her toes and turtle tracks

on her collarbones

        G#
always turnin'

how to surf

I met a blonde on the beach with lots
of quirky tattoos
She had a shark on her arm, a pirate
shreddin' the gnar
An octopus wearin' shades and seagull
wings on her shoulder blades

I asked her what they meant
And this is what she said

Chorus

And by the way, it's okay, it could always be worse
Yeah, when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
You can't stop the waves, but you can
learn how to surf

D#/G          G#
(Go with the flow)
                            A#                   G#
Then she said, "When you're sad and you feel alone
                         Cm          A#
Write 'em down, all your worries and woes"
              G#
(Go with the flow)
                             A#                Cm
"Then, fold 'em up, cork it shut and let that bottle
go
G#            A#        D#
And set your troubles afloat"

Chorus:
She told me, hey, "seas" the day,
know the ocean by heart
And if it don't, float your boat,
learn to swim with the sharks
Kick up the sand 'cause your
tan proves you lived through the burn
And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
You can't stop the waves
Yeah, when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
You can't stop the waves,
but you can learn how to surf

Yeah!
(Learn how to surf)
And by the way, it's okay, it
could always be worse
Yeah, when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
You can't stop the waves, but
you can learn how to surf
