[Intro]
C Am F G x2
[Verse 1]
C Am F G C Am F G
Come and open up your folding chair next to me
C Am F G C Am F G
My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze
C Am F G C Am F G
There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
C Am F G C Am F G
And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies
C Am F G C Am F G
Let's get a silver bullet trailer and have a baby boy,
C Am F G C Am F G
I'll safety pin his clothes all cool and you'll graffiti up his toys
C Am F G C Am F G
I've got a perfect body, but sometimes I forget
C Am F G C
I've got a perfect body, 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat
Am

F G
They do
[Chorus]

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 2]
C Am F G C Am F G
Now I've been sitting on this abandoned beach for years
C Am F G C Am F G
Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears
C Am F G C Am F G
But every time the tide comes in to take me home
C Am F
I get scared
G C
Now I'm sitting here alone
Am F G
Dreaming of the dolphin song
[Chorus]
F G Am C
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
F G Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh ooh-ooh
F G Am C
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
F G C
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh ooh
[Bridge]
G C
Maybe one day you'll understand
F C
That I want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand
G C
Till that day just please don't be so down
F G
Don't make frowns, you silly clown, just
[Verse 3]
C Am F G C Am F G
Come and open up your folding chair next to me
C Am F G C Am F G
My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze

There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
C Am F G C Am F G
And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies
C Am F G C Am F G
There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
C Am F G
There's a shadow, you can't see my
[Chorus]

Pretty sure the "Ooh ooh ooh" part goes
F-G-Am-C
F-G-Am
F-G-Am-C
F-G-C
If it sounds a little off, play/sing the melody on top of the bass notes on the E-string alone and you can hear that it is the idea. It lands on the C going into the bridge where "maybe one day" starts on a G and goes in whole notes:
G-C-F-C-G-C-F-G
The last chord of that sequence in on "you silly clown."

i think that all the Cadd9 should be just C
it sounds a little cleaner to me.
