Em * C * G * D


[Verse 1]

   Em              C                  G           D
      Carolina sun rays sinking on a south side pier
Em              C            G                   D
Cotton candy, salty kisses, and a couple stolen beers
Em                      C          G                    D
Your tan lines were the map for my hands to find their way
 Em                       C      G                D
And that empty lifeguard shack, we watched our innocence fade


[Chorus]
                G            D
Caught in that beach blonde salt sand tide
C              C
Ferris wheel make our ride
Em                      D
Soaking the summer in, Coppertone glistening
C                    C
Tracing the tattoos on your skin
G            D
One, two, three months fly
C                C
Like a blink in your blue eyes
Em                         D                C
Where young love rolls in fast as it rolls out
C
In beach town

[Verse 2]
Em                   C                    G             D
Sneaking in and getting kicked out at the bayside pool
     C             G
And watching your tee shirt drip dr
                              D
Middle of the night, that was so damn cool
           Em            C
And sandals in your hands
G                         D
Swaying to the beat of an off beat cover band
Em                   C
Spilling your drink, making me sink
D                      G
Deeper and deeper with every half drunk wink


[Chorus]
                G            D
Caught in that beach blonde salt sand tide
C              C
Ferris wheel make our ride
Em                      D
Soaking the summer in, Coppertone glistening
C                    C
Tracing the tattoos on your skin
G            D
One, two, three months fly
C                C
Like a blink in your blue eyes
Em                         D                C
Where young love rolls in fast as it rolls out


[Bridge]
C
Florida State came calling
D
Your goodbye tears came falling
Em
I said I don't want to go if you don't want to go
D
So we just kept on stalling
D
We kept on stalling


[Chorus]
                G            D
Caught in that beach blonde salt sand tide
C              C
Ferris wheel make our ride
Em                      D
Soaking the summer in, Coppertone glistening
C                    C
Tracing the tattoos on your skin
G            D
One, two, three months fly
C                C
Like a blink in your blue eyes
Em                         D                C
Where young love rolls in fast as it rolls out
