Beach Rats chords by The Growlers

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
D#m

Verse 1:
     D#m
My words are weak compared to the drug
   F#           B A#m
What can I really say to help?
  D#m                        F#
Plus, I know what it feels like when you can’t look up
   B        A#m  D#m
I’ve had to deal with that myself

Pre-Chorus:
                 F#   B     A#m
But I remember the sun bleeds strong and everyday under the sun
D#m                      F#        B A#m
And I don’t wanna scare ‘em away, I just wish we were still young


Chorus:
G#m               F#       A#m
Beach Rats, reckless days, foul-mouthed salty kids
G#m                   F#        A#m
All day healed by the sun and wrapped up in the ocean’s lip


Verse 2:
D#m               F#        B  A#m
So how do we get to be so far away from the things we love
D#m                  F#      B    A#m
So sad to see a boy’s love for the waves be replaced by a drug


Pre-Chorus:
D#m                F#   B     A#m
But I remember the sun bleeds strong and everyday under the sun
D#m                      F#        B A#m
And I don’t wanna scare ‘em away, I just wish we were still young


Chorus:
G#m               F#       A#m
Beach Rats, reckless days, foul-mouthed salty kids
G#m                   F#        A#m
All day healed by the sun and wrapped up in the ocean’s lip

Bridge 1:
D#m F#   A#m
Oooh ooh oh ooh
D#m       F#   A#m
Oooh oh oooh oh ooh oh ooh

Verse 3:
D#m                     F#        B A#m
Strawberry noses, snakeskin backs and knees all covered in wax
D#m                    F#           B A#m
Showoffs begging for attention, trying to show ‘em that we’re rad
     D#m             F#       B A#m
It’s easy to forget about the world outside of the town
  D#m                       F#       B A#m
Feeling free with no rules in the sea, but even fish eventually drown


Chorus:
G#m               F#       A#m
Beach Rats, reckless days, foul-mouthed salty kids
G#m                   F#        A#m
All day healed by the sun and wrapped up in the ocean’s lip

Bridge 2:

Oooh oh oooh oooh
F# A#m D#m  A#m
Oooh  ooh oh ooh

Oooh oh oooh
