Snow On The Beach Chords & Lyrics

[Intro]
Asus2 X8
 
[Verse 1]
F#m7
One night a few moons ago
D9
I saw flecks of what could've been
A/C#                                              
Lights, but it might just have been
Esus4
You, passing by unbeknownst to me

F#m7
Life is emotionally abusive
        D9
And time can't stop me quite like you did
             A/C# 
And my flight was awful, thanks for asking
        Esus4
I'm unglued thanks to you
 
[Chorus]
                   F#m7
And it's like snow at the beach, weird but fuckin' beautiful
D9
Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful
A/C#
You wanting me, tonight feels impossible
Esus4
   But it's comin' down no sound, it's all around
        F#m7                             D9
Like snow on the beach, like snow on the beach
        A/C#                              Esus4
Like snow on the beach, like snow, ah-ah
 
[Verse 2]
        F#m7                                                   D9
This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen
                                            A/C#
I searched aurora borealis green
                                                    
I've never seen someone lit
 
 
Esus4
From within blurring out my periphery
      F#m7 
My smile is like I won a contest
           D9
And to hide that would be so dishonest
             A/C#
And it's fine to fake it 'til you make it
            Esus4
'Til you do, 'til it's true
 
[Chorus]
                    F#m7
Now it's like snow at the beach, weird but fuckin' beautiful
D9
Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful
A/C#
You wanting me, tonight feels impossible
Esus4
   But it's comin' down no sound, it's all around
        F#m7                             D9
Like snow on the beach, like snow on the beach
        A/C#                              Esus4
Like snow on the beach, like snow, ah-ah-ah
 
[Bridge]
F#m7                                     D9
I can't speak, afraid to jinx it, I don't even dare to wish it
A/C#
   But your eyes are flying saucers from another planet
Esus4
Now I'm all for you like Janet

Can this be a real thing, can it?
 
[Chorus]
N.C.                      F#m7
Are we falling like snow at the beach
 
Weird but fuckin' beautiful

D9
Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful
A/C#
You wanting me, tonight feels impossible
Esus4
   But it's comin' down no sound, it's all around
        F#m7
Like snow on the beach
        D9            
Like snow on the beach
        A/C#
Like snow on the beach
        Esus4
Like snow (but it's coming down no sound it's all round)
 
[Outro] X2
      F#m7
It's coming down it's coming down
                                              D9
It's coming down it's coming down
      A/C#
It's coming down it's coming down
                                              Esus4
It's coming down it's coming down

Snow On The Beach Piano Tips
1. Take It Slow: It's counterintuitive, but the quickest way to get comfortable and sound great playing a song is to practice it very slowly at first. Steady rhythm and counting are crucial to sounding like a pro, so let yourself get used to feeling the beat at a slow, easy tempo. Once you can nail "Snow On The Beach" slowly, *gradually* speed it up. You'll sound much better than if you jumped in at full speed!
 
2. Use The Pedal Wisely: Utilize the sustain pedal to connect the chords smoothly, timing your lifts with the arrival of a new chord. For help with sustain pedal timing, check out this video.  
 
3. Simplify if need be: "Snow On The Beach" still sounds great even if you simply hold out the chords and ignore most of the rhythm patterns and extra details in the tutorial video. Feel free to keep it simple, especially if you sing while playing. As you get comfortable, you can always add the fancy stuff later.
