“Dónde Está la Playa”
by The Walkmen
Capo 3
chords repeat throughout song
Well, it s back to the battle today.
But I wouldn t have it any other way.
Cause tonight we ll be crazy as kooks.
I m dancing, grooving. This lovely wooden floor.
The tom-toms are beating on. Eyes are so sore.
There is still sand in my suitcase.
There is still salt in my teeth.
I kissed her in the window.
She covered up her face.
She s pretty, Sherry.
But I m far, far too late.
Someone said, man, let s take a drive.
So here I am. So here I am.
I crashed up a party, nickels and dimes,
A handful of strangers, all friends of mine.
I know that you re married, rings on your hand.
So I didn t stay til the end.
I don t need a Christmas card.
You don t need to write.
Last Christmas was black and blue, but this year is white.
The void repeats, repeats a sound so deep in my head.
Goodnight. Keep your shirt on. You can leave the way you came.
