05 Wetsuit
F(single note played in organ style, I like to strum it once every line)
If at some point we all succumb
For goodness sake let us be young
Because time gets harder to outrun
And I'm nobody, I'm not done
F (palm muted staccato 'jabs' with the drum beat sounds good here)
With a cool cool breeze and dirty knees
I rest on childhood memories
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me
Bb C
Go easy on me
Bb C
Aaah aaah ah-ah aaah
Bb C
aaah aaah ah-ah ah,

ah-ah aahh

Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
F Bb C
Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
F
Put a t-shirt on
Bb C F
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
F
If it's up and after you
What do you suppose that you would do?
You're all whacked out from lack of sleep
You blame it on the friends you keep
You want to do things differently
And do them independently
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me
Bb C
Go easy on me
Bb C
Aaah aaah ah-ah aaah
Bb C
aaah aaah ah-ah ah,
F
ah-ah aahh

Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
BRIDGE:
Bb F
Does holy water make you pure?
Bb F
Submerged your vision's just obscured

You're a lot like me

In up to our knees

In over your chest is way too deep

Lyrics from Songmeanings
Great Dane's cheekbones,
Teenage hormones,
Young complexion,
Non-physical affection.
You're a god send;
Do you want a boyfriend?
Crazy crazy, easy tiger!
Her mind's made up, she don't wanna go steady,
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready.
A-m-A-n-D-A Norgaard,
I saw you on a cover on Cross Bay Boulevard.
Smaller tits
And skinny framework,
Tall, sharp hips
And you're all in the same work.
Giving me the sweet talk,
Walking down the catwalk.
I want a mannequin!
But she won't let me in
Her mind's made up, she don't wanna go steady,
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready.
A-m-A-n-D-A Norgaard,
I saw you on a cover on Cross Bay Boulevard.
Her mind's made up, she don't wanna go steady,
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready.
A-m-A-n-D-A Norgaard,
I saw you on a cover on Cross Bay Boulevard.
Her mind's made up, she don't wanna go steady,
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready.
A-m-A-n-D-A Norgaard,
I saw you on a cover on Cross Bay Boulevard.

11 Family Friend
Chords: F/Bb/C
They've all got their opinions but then what do they know
If you can't go back, where the hell do you go?
Does everybody really feel as high as a kite?
Well I don't really know if they do but they might
You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool
They've all got their opinions but then what do they know
If you can't go back, where the hell do you go?
Does everybody really feel as high as a kite?
Well I don't really know if they do but they might
You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool
You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool
Half baked girl
Hey, I'm hardly surprised
Snake eyes disguise everybody's lies
Faded nail marks on pale thighs and an awkward secret that someone denies
And now you're trying to get yourself back in
Come on in
You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool
You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool
