James Azurin - Variations

[D]  [A]  [G]  [Bm] [A]
  [D]  [A]  [G]  [Bm] [A]

(Verse 1:)

[D]  Building castles on the beach
[A]  the ocean pulling at our feet     [G]
  and pi[Bm]neapple houses litterin[A]g the streets

 [D] Below, the waves are fearsome and
 [A] I try to get you near them
  [G]But you won't hear of it
  she says I'm whimsica[Bm]l at best    [A]

(Pre-chorus)

          [G]
  [And]
  [D]Sometimes I'm just petty c[A]onversation          [G]
  But al[D]l the time
  I'm you[A]rs and yours alone--         [D]

(Chorus)

[D]  This song's abou[A]t
  staying out and [G]watching sunsets  [A]
 [D] and playing golf[A] on summer days             [G]                  [A]
[D]  it's all[A] about
  being lost[G] together, in a [A]desert
[D]  or getting tra[A]pped out in the rain     [G]          [A]
And just I ho[G]pe you stay to s[A]ee it.

(Interlude)

 D--A--G--Bm-A-

(Verse 2)

[D]  One by one the stars come out
[A]   The astronomical things we talk about                 [G]
like the universe and why we're here          [Bm]
en[A]sue

[D]  A picnic in a parking lot
[A]  underneath those shining stars and
  [G]Adjacent hands that join
  girl, it's m[Bm]e and you [A]

(Pre-chorus)

  So..   [G]
  So[D]metimes you're just a little aggr[A]avating                [G]
  But al[D]l the time,
  I'm you[A]rs and yours alone--        [D]

(Chorus)

[D]  This song's abou[A]t
  staying out and[G] watching sunsets   [A]
[D]  and playing gol[A]f on summer days            [G]                  [A]

  it's all about
[D]  being lost together, in a [A]desert          [G]                [A]
[D]  or getting tr[A]apped out in the rain          [G]                [A]
And I gues[G]s I'm glad you stayed to se[A]e it.

(Bridge)

[Bm]  Whenever you'r[A]e away
  it's h[G]ard for me to say
[Bm]  exactly wh[A]at I mean
  I mean tha[G]t telecommunication

  cannot replace the way
  that la[Bm]ughing together[A] feels.   [G]

(Chorus*)

[D]  This song's abou[A]t
  staying out and[G] watching sunsets   [A]
[D]  and playing gol[A]f on summer days            [G]                  [A]

  it's all about
[D]  being lost together, in a [A]desert          [G]                [A]
[D]  or getting tr[A]apped out in the rain          [G]                [A]

[E]  I'll sing [B]about
  hanging out a[A]nd watching movies      [B]
[E]  or morning walks[B] and holding hands                [A]                      [B]
[E]  This song's abo[B]ut
  makin' s'm[A]ores while it's pouring [B]

  but the stor[E]m outside can't reach us in [B]here.           [E/A]
