C            Dm         G
Everybody needs a by the sea affair
          C                 Dm               G
Where you get the urge from something in the air
       Am           Em           Am             Em
Helter Skelter on a mat, Kiss me Quick is on my hat
        Am           Em                F    G
And you do it on the ghost train for a dare


[Chorus]
        C        F             C     F
Wishing you were here, same as every year
          C      Am             F     G
Cause our summer madness is too short
        C        F               C          F
Wishing you were here, where the sunshine's near
      C         Am            F      G
Is it true that wishes can be bought?


[Verse 2]
     C              Dm               G
Everybody needs the moonlight on the beach
          C                Dm               G
Where the water's cold and no one hears you screech
        Am            Em             Am              Em
Getting buried in the sand, what you holding in your hand?
       Am              Em             F     G
Let it go or else I'll keep it out of reach


[Chorus]
        C        F             C     F
Wishing you were here, same as every year
          C      Am             F     G
Cause our summer madness is too short
        C        F               C          F
Wishing you were here, where the sunshine's near
      C         Am            F      G
Is it true that wishes can be bought?


[Middle 8]
         Am                   Em
The last night you dressed to kill
         Am                 Em
Will you write? You say you will
          F          Dm    G
Sometimes hopes just drift away


[Verse 3]
     C             Dm         G
Everybody needs to have a sea romance
         C                 Dm              G
When the world around just doesn't stand a chance
      Am                  Em            Am                Em
Candy floss stuck on your nose and your donkey's name was Rose
            Am                Em           F     G
What's this cheek to cheek in every single dance?


[Chorus]
        C        F             C     F
Wishing you were here, same as every year
          C      Am             F      G
Cause our summer madness is too short
        C        F               C          F
Wishing you were here, where the sunshine's near
      C         Am            F       G
Is it true that wishes can be bought?
