(E)
Raindrops keep falling
(A)
And tempos will drop
(E) (A)
But I need some sunshine tonight
[Verse 1]
E A
I wrote this song on some software that I stole when I was 17
E
I thought that it might get me somewhere
A
I'm still nowhere and I'm 23
[Pre-Chorus]
E
Oh when I hear that wet California sound
A
I swear there ain't nobody that's getting me down
F#m
Cause they put all the right notes in all the right places
[Chorus]
E
Now we're driving up the coast
A F#m
And we're sitting on the hood of my car
E
Oh we're walking down the boardwalk
A F#m
Or at the drive-in under the stars
F#m B
When I hear that surf music
G#m C#m
I hear that surf
F#m B
It's telling me "don't let shit get you
E A F#m B
down"
E A F#m B
[Verse 2]
E
I always believed I could achieve my every dream
A
And now I'm not that sure
E
Back home in Nelson people used to talk about it
A
But they ain't saying nothing no more
[Pre-Chorus]
E
When I feeling like having a friend
A
I head for the place where summer don't ever end
F#m
Where they put all the right notes in all the right places
[Chorus]
E
Now we're driving up the coast
A F#m
And we're sitting on the hood of my car
E
Oh we're walking down the boardwalk
A F#m
Or at the drive-in under the stars
B
When I hear that surf music
G#m C#m
I hear that surf
F#m B A
It's telling me "don't let shit get you down"
[Bridge]
E
And I ain't even catch any waves
C#m
But on the radio stays
B A
You know I still crave that sound
E
And she's got the most beautiful eyes
C#m
Reflecting pink satin skies
B A
As we watch that sun go down
E C#m
Sitting on the hood of my car
B A
And we ain't got no place we should be
E C#m B
And she looks like Lauren from Fifth Harmony
A E
Oh and we can work from home tonight
C#m B
If what I think that means is even right
A E
Cause I never believed in love on sight
C#m
Now, looking at you
B
I suddenly do, I do, I do
[Chorus]
E
Now we're driving up the coast
A F#m
And we're sitting on the hood of my car
E
Oh we're walking down the boardwalk
A F#m
Or at the drive-in under the stars
F#m B
When I hear that surf music
G#m C#m
I hear that surf
F#m B
It's telling me "don't let shit get you
E A F#m B
down"
