[Verse]
    G                  D
The girl sleeps on the island
    C                 Em
Her hair is long and brown
G                D
Hiding from the winter
C                   Em
Dreaming of another town

[Chorus]
   C
You didn't end up in the city
      G      G/B     C
like all the years before
 G               D
Now you're just another
C                   G
girl who washed ashore

[Verse]
 G                D
Showing off your diamond
C              Em
Blazing in the car
G                D
Dreaming of the summer
C                     Em
But summer's just too far

[Chorus]
   C
You didn't end up in the city
     Am     Am/B     C
like all the years before
 G               D
Now you're just another
C                   G
girl who washed ashore

[Verse]
     G                   D
You broke up with your boyfriend
   C                 Em
He threw out all you had
       G                D
You're trying not to call him
     C                Em
But you get drunk and sad

[Chorus]
    C
You could have loved him if you wanted
G       G/B     C
but you wanted more
    G          D
And we all want what's best for the
C                   G
girl who washed ashore
       C
You're going out to California,
      Am    Am/B      C
got a ticket in the drawer
   G                D
We never thought we say goodbye to the
C                   G
girl who washed ashore
