[Abm] LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, [E] LA, LA, LA, LA,
[Abm] LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, [E] LA, LA
A couple of [B] young girls went, sailing [Abm] down A1A
Into the [E] arms of Florida, [Abm] sailing down [Gb] a highway
[Gbm]
Singing [Abm] their heads off, protected [E] by the Holy Ghost
Flying in from [B] the ocean, driving with [Gb] their eyes closed
[Abm] And I'd [Gb] want to kiss you, [Abm] baby
Be on his way,
[E] pretend he don't [Gb] know you
[B]
The [Abm] very [Gbm] next day, isn't [E] it hard sometimes, isn't [Abm] it lonely
How I still [E] hang around you, [Gbm] there's nothing [Abm] to hold me
You slide [B] down into the sea, twelve [Abm] hours on your feet
Get the tide to [E] wash you away, thousands [Gb] and thousands of days
Someone you [Abm] never meet, signs of change you get [E] every week
You try and still [B] can't forget, all the strangers [Gb] that you've met
And [Abm]
[E] I'd [Abm] never [Gb] hold [Gbm] you, [Abm] nothing, anyway
[B]
[E] Makes [B] promises [Gb] and he never [B] intends to keep
Every [Gb] day, isn't it [E] hard sometimes, isn't [Abm] it lonely
How I still [E] hang around you, [Gb] there's nothing [Abm] to hold me
[E] Every time, [Gb] every year, [Abm] travelers come and go
Seeing the land with [E] their pale wings, flying [Gb] back to the snow
And the summer [B] comes marching in, with his heavy [Abm] boots on
Kicking along [E] the blacktop, [Abm] sidewalks of [Gb] 818
Young girls [Abm] and their bare feet, cigarettes [E] smoking
Looking [B] every which way, wishing and [Gb] hoping
And [E] you open up, just [B] to let [Gbm] you [B]
[Abm] sleep
Be on his way, [B]
[E] wrap you up in some [Gb] cool [B] sheets
And have nothing [Gb] to say, isn't [E] it hard sometimes, isn't [Abm] it lonely
How I [E] still hang around you, [Gb] there's nothing [Abm] to hold me
Isn't [E] it hard sometimes, isn't [Abm] it lonely
How I still hang [E] around you, [B] [Gbm]
there's [Abm] nothing to hold me
