C I know that you're smiling, baby, G I don't even need to see your face C Sunset at the shoreline, we are laughing, breaking up, G Just like the waves C Are you feeling, feeling, feeling like I'm, feeling G Like I'm floating, floating, up above that big blue ocean C Sand beneath our feet, big blue sky above our heads, G D No need to keep stressing from our everyday life on our minds C G We have got to leave all that behind C G C G C Well, I have got a sister, G And she has got a baby with brand new eyes C And her daddy is an engineer, G And they just took her to the sea for the first time C Now they're under, under, underneath a big umbrella G D Summer, summer, summer time to help us forget, nine to fives C G We have got to leave all that behind C G C G Am D Am D G Em Am D I have worries to give to the sea G Em Am D We can walk dear the pier is farther than it seems C Midnight at the shoreline, fireworks above us G A screaming bloom C They're sent by some teenager and kid whoever you are G I am thanking you C Now we're dancing, dancing, dancing with no music G What is happening, happening, happening and no feelings D Except this is right C G We just had to leave all that behind
