                        B
And I'm gonna spend my time
                         E
Drawing pictures in the sand for you
                       B
And I'm gonna write a time
                      E
And I'm gonna name a rendezvous
                A
Sittin' by the sea
               E
Sippin' at my tea
                         B
Drawing pictures in the sand
                         E
And writing messages to you

Pictures in the sand
There is nothing I would rather do
Than to sit here in the sand
And think of things I'd like to say to you
Every single day
I waste my time away
Drawing pictures in the sand
And writing messages to you

A               F#m
Pictures in the sand
A               F#m
Pictures in the sand
F#m                 D
If I didn't have a dime
           Bm              A
Would you still be loving me
             F#m                 Bm
Though I'd spend my whole life through
         E                A
Drawing pictures just for you
            F#m           Bm
But I could never draw my love
        Bm            A
It's so very hard to do

Every single day
I waste my time away
Drawing pictures in the sand
And writing messages to you

Pictures in the sand. (Drawing pictures in the sand)
Pictures in the sand. (Do-bum, do-bum...)
Pictures in the sand. (Drawing pictures in the sand)
