Surf (written by Roddy Frame) chords
Start Jamming...
Amazing [C] grace, field guide light, [Bb]
See her [F] safely [C]
hold the night.
[F]
The east side squares have grown cold and loud,
[Bb] Since I lived [C] there with the twilight crowd.
[Bb]
West end [C] lights have lost their wow,
[Bb] And trail of [D] thoughts show me the way to [F] the heart of her.
[Bb]
Lost,
[D] wondering if I should [F]
follow,
But [C] lay low, [C]
[F]
[Dm] heels [Bb] back, the layered big city sky,
[F] Reveals me in a mystery, [Dm]
[Bb] what her [C] world could mean to [Bb] me.
She's an island girl, [C]
I'm lost at sea,
When I was young, the radio played [Bb]
just for me.
[C] It saves me, [F]
now I don't want who [Bb] wants me.
Maybe, [C]
[F]
tearing out the darkness,
[Bb] Turning on the [G] dawn,
[Bm]
[C] If life was like the songs, I'd surf [Bb] across the [C] herbed red.
[Bb]
[F]
So I check the map [C] for tiny signs,
[Dm]
[Bb] Wishes [C] and wishes,
[F]
Made from [C] scraps of stupid lines,
[Dm]
Songs and [C] scenes in magazines,
[Bb]
That don't tell [F]
me what it [C] means,
[Bb]
[Cm] Tear [Bb]
her face out of the [F] start of a day for me.
[Dm]
[Bb]
Lost, [Bb] wondering if I should [F] follow,
[F]
[C] But lay low, can't get used to being [Dm] lost,
But believe, I'm overcome.
[G] [Gm]
[Gb]
[F] When I was young, the radio played [Bb] just for me.
[F] It saves [C] me, now I [F]
[Bb] don't want who wants me.
[C] Maybe,
[F]
tearing out,
[Bb] Turning on the [G] dawn,
[Am]
[Bm] [C] If life were like the songs,
I'd surf into [C] the waves,
And in a [B] splash of silver,
[F] She'd be gone.
[N]
