Life's a Beach
words and music by Cate Doefer and Tim Foley


intro: (G) (Fmaj7)

(G) Wind in my hair - sun on my face (Fmaj7)
(G) time to spare - there is no race (Fmaj7)
(C) tip of my tongue - just out of (D2) reach
(C) one long ride - to get to the (D2) beach
(G) long neck cerveza - slice of lime (Fmaj7)
(G) endless ride - outside of time (Fmaj7)
(C) taste of salt - a sudden (D2) glare
(C) savor the ride - going (D) nowhere

   (G) cus life's a beach, and then you (C) die
   brush off the sand and wave (G) goodbye
   Will we know it when we (C) get there?
   or will it be just another (G) somewhere
   It only matters that we (C) tried
   Just sit (D) back and enjoy the (G) ride (resume intro pattern)

enjoy the journey - get off track
see the sights - you're not going back...
  take your time - go with the tide
a little different - on the other side
how far is it? - are we there yet?
can we work without a net?
  crash of surf - fuzz on a peach
song in the air - just out of reach

REPEAT CHORUS 2X
