The Fury of the Aquabats!

The Aquabats are a musical ensemble from Huntington Beach, California formed in 1994 known for their humorous lyrics and outrageous live shows, during which the band is often attacked by supervillains onstage.  Starting as a parody of the booming third-wave ska scene in Southern California (their first show, reportedly, was played with fourteen members, at least half of which were wielding horns), The Aquabats played third-wave ska with surf guitar sounds and b-movie inspired lyrics.

[Verse]
D                                      Em 
As one sits and waits for something to happen
A                                D   
I too, sat and waited for you to call
       D                                                  Em 
Well I waited too long and I thought, "Hey, maybe I should call you."
A                           D 
But by then you had already gone.

[Chorus]
                 A                                 
Whoa, whoa. It's Friday night, I wanted to go out
D
I didn't want to go to no show.
A                          
Didn't wanna cruise main street 
D
I didn't wanna go to no disco. 
          G                       A              
No, no. I just wanted you to come over, 
          D                 G
sit on my couch and hold me tight,
    G                      A      
But you went out with some dumb jock 
             D
and left me alone with my skateboard tonight


D Em A D

[Verse]
D                                  Em
Now I'm out with my skateboard and pushin' so hard, I'm pushin' so hard.
A                                        D
I wanna see if I can see if you're still home

But the lights weren't on and you were gone
   D                                  Em
So on my way home alone I took a shortcut through the park
    A
And just my luck, I saw you sitting in his truck
         D
You were making out with him in the dark

[Chorus]
                 A                                 
Whoa, whoa. It's Friday night, I wanted to go out
D
I didn't want to go to no show.
A                          
Didn't wanna cruise main street 
D
I didn't wanna go to no disco. 
          G                       A              
No, no. I just wanted you to come over, 
          D                 G
sit on my couch and hold me tight,
    G                      A      
But you went out with some dumb jock 
             D
and left me alone with my skateboard tonight

[Bridge]
[Pick it up, Pick it up, Pick it up/Double Time]
D Em A D

D                Em 
Why'd you go and change your mind
A
You can pick and choose 

But with him you're gonna lose
      D
Every ti-ti-ti-ti-time

[Chorus]
                 A                                 
Whoa, whoa. It's Friday night, I wanted to go out
D
I didn't want to go to no show.
A                          
Didn't wanna cruise main street 
D
I didn't wanna go to no disco. 
          G                       A              
No, no. I just wanted you to come over, 
          D                 G
sit on my couch and hold me tight,
    G                      A      
But you went out with some dumb jock 
             D

G             D
Take on the ocean
Am
Where we belong
        C           G
Like islands in the sun
               D
I'll stick around
             Am           C
To be your hero, your tugboat captain
G               D           Am
We could swim out to the end
           C             G
We can find our place to hide
           D             Am        C       G
We can slide across the sea and finally be free

                    D
In this space wide open
        Am
Take my hand to know
            C
That I will never let you go
G     D           Am             C          G
You are my joy my pride that keeps my heart alive
      D             Am
If we fall we won't cry
              C                 G
In these water mountains we can hide
        D              Am
There we can close our eyes
      C
And we can be all right


(can't really get this bit but this sounds okay)
Am 
        D
We can write this story
(these chords are a run down) 
           C       
Raise our arms in glory
        Am                 G
As we step off the world to

G D Am C
Slide (Find out what you're looking for)
G D Am C
Waterslide (Be my guest)
G D Am C
We can slide (Find out what you're looking for)
G D Am C
Waterslide, We'll slide across the sea

We're drawing lines on the water
You take a swim with Neptune's daughter
You want to splash in the sea green planet
And let the world go
Just let the birds go, birds go
We'll don't waste another breath
Make sure you take time
To pass along imagination
Before you're gone
And your life slips away
So write this story with me..

      I was at the supermarket
E                    C#m
      Watching people cut in line
E                          C#m
       I started thinking about human nature
Dmaj7/A
       What would you do
           B
       if there was no more food?
E                C#m
       My mind began to wander
E            C#m
       About greed and hunger
E                        C#m
       And just how many other countries
           Dmaj7/A              B
       Are getting ready for another war
B              A
       But the sun was shining
B               A              B
       And everything seemed fine
          A            B
       So count me in
            A                    B
       I'll see you on the other side

       It won't be long
       C#m
       It won't be long
       G#aug
       People gonna run around
       Dmaj7/A
       Losing their heads
       E
       A river of blood
       C#m
       Who's gonna live?
       G#aug
       The earth is tired of human kind

Verse 1
           F#
I've got a small friend who has a fat friend
Who had a big friend who gave birth to many friends.
         E                  B
With our flashlights to the sky
              F#
We waited for them to land.
I've got two tall friends who know my small friend
Who seem to have a problem with you.
E                             B
They got roman candles bottle rockets for the vandals
    F#
Who covered our lockers in glue.

Set it off one last time

Here we come again.


Verse 2
F#
We were strangers and we were pilgrims
Role models of the family man.
E                       B

Verse 1
C           Am           Dm
Once upon a time she was fine
         G
And good people knew her name
C              Am
I was from the ocean floor
Dm                   G
  But I remember the look in her eyes
C               Am
  True love the birds would sing
    Dm                   G                  C
And trees would call her name as she walked by
Am                        Dm
Love was grand until that magic day
    G              C
She turned me into nothing


Pre Chorus

Let's talk about something else
                          Bm
I'm starting not to see myself
                           C                  Bm
She went so far away but I still see her everyday
C                                   Dm
Nothing, let's talk about something else
                             Bm
Can't see myself with anyone else
                        C                    Bm
Please, oh please let's talk about something else
         G
Before I cry...Wah, wah, waaaaah


Chorus
C             Am        Dm
She can't see me, but I can
          G                C
I guess I am the invisible man
          Am              Dm
She can't see, what could be
        G
Nothing hurts worse than being nothing
C               Am
  The invisible man
     Dm                 G
Some things are hard to understand
C               Am
  The invisible man

Nothing's worse than turning into

And all good people knew her name
C             Am                    Dm
I was from outside where all the animals and
        G
All the trees were happy
C                  Am            Dm
 What's wrong? I'm standing over here
              G                    C
It's just too weird that she can't see me
               Am              Dm
It's as if she waved her magic wand
            G              C
And somehow turned me into nothing

is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am

Roll into your town and I'm walking around
                                                Fm                        
Got some extra time think I'll throw some money down
                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7

        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
