Learned to Surf Lyrics

Learned to Surf - Superchunk
Main riff (mac)
D | quickly picked |
play main riff 1x alone, 1x w/ bass and drums, 1x with 2nd guitar
2nd guitar (jim)
If I seem ou ou ou ou out of it
I've just gone to find you, I'll be back in a bit
Circles clo o o o se up but circles are wide
We'll be wearing wigs and costumes. Won't be any hope to hide
When I learned to walk, you know humans roamed the earth
I can't hold my breath anymore, I stopped sinking and learned to surf
And when I learned to talk I found words that weren't worth dirt
I can't hold my breath anymore, I stopped swimming and learned to surf
*play main riff twice, 2nd guitar changes to
If I drift ou ou ou ou out in channels way too deep
It's cause I can't stand the shifting sands and shells under our feet
Put your suitcase dow ow ow ow own and leave your shoes
Gently by the door in a huddle with your boots
When I learned to walk, you know humans roamed the earth
I can't hold my breath anymore, I stopped sinking and learned to surf
And when I learned to talk I found words that weren't worth dirt
I can't hold my breath anymore, I stopped swimming and learned to surf
