Weezer: Surf Wax America

by Rivers Cuomo

Here's Surf Wax America. For all those who don't have the Weezer

album, I highly recommend it, especially if you like Nirvana.

{With intro}

The sea is foamin' like a bottle of beer

The wave is comin' but I ain't got no fear

I'm waxing down so that I'll go real fast

I'm waxing down because it's really a blast

{Without intro/With Distortion}

I'm going surfing 'cuz I don't like your face

I'm bailing out because I hate the race

of rats that run round and round in the maze

I'm going surfin', I'm going surfin'

{CHORUS}

You take your car to work Note: the C/E sounds good when

C/E G you play with the album.

I'll take my board If you play alone, an E/B

C/G D/A sounds better

And when you're out of fuel

I'm still afloat

My buddies and their homies all come along

They seem invincible as they surf along

The sea is rollin' like a thousand pound keg

We're goin' surfin', we're goin' surfin'

{CHORUS}

You take your car to work

I'll take my board

And when you're out of fuel

I'm still afloat

{INTERLUDE}

All along the undertow

is strengthening its hold

I never thought it'd come to this

Now I can never go home

or maybe she doesn't know what to get;

But why does it seem like every year's

a toolbox Christmas?"
