C So there we were, back home from Am somewhere inside my head C G Oh, bravely I fought off the monsters beneath her bed C Am Pillars of postwar books supported by frame of mind C While she memorized the pages that I tried to not G hide behind She took my hand in hers and whispered her love for me The lantern died that night but we didn't need to see Implying that she's the bee's knees and I am the cat's meow It's funny how she recalls what I can't remember now Chorus: Dm C Am G But when her smile came back and I didn't feel Dm half as horrible C F Am She gave me a heart attack just because she looked G so adorable Dm C Am We both put our sunblock on, played on the beach and G D7sus4 vowed that we'd live and we'd learn F Am F G C Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn F C I got a sunburn So there we were out there, unaware of where we'd been We kicked off our flip-flops and swung from the rooftops again It's awkward but I'll confess she's all I can think about And it's funny how I recall what she can't remember now Chorus: But when her smile came back And I didn't feel half as horrible She gave me a heart attack Just because she looked so adorable We both put our sunblock on Played on the beach and vowed That we'd live and we'd learn Yeah, but she got a tan and I got a sunburn C F Oh, afterglow, look out below Am G We left a trail of dust behind C F Am As we parted ways, she held my gaze G And left an imprint on my mind C F Am I tried not to cry as we said goodbye G C And hung the clouds above my town C F Am But I shed a tear when she disappeared G Dm Cause now I'm a stranger on the ground You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  D7sus4  Dm  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
