[Intro]

D,A,G x4 (the strumming for the first verse is pretty odd,
try not to strum anything before the D MajorD string)

D MajorD                A augmentedA            G+G
He invited me in; said his name was Jesse, and to take a look around
            D MajorD     A augmentedA      G+G
I found my coat at the bottom of the closet, dug it out. The only thing that she
D MajorD  A augmentedA       G+G
left, there in the middle of the room, was the couch. She’d always hated the
D MajorD       A augmentedA    G+G
pattern or the texture. I can’t remember it now.
(Normal strumming pattern again)
D MajorD        A augmentedA      G+G    D MajorD       A augmentedA    G+G
I relived those nights there breaking down. I guess I’ll see myself out.

G+G      D MajorD      A augmentedA   G+G       D MajorD       A augmentedA
You kept me waiting like the G+G Train. I held the door open for hours.

I had to walk away. I rode the A augmentedA line out to Rockaway. I’m always drawn to the water.
A augmentedA           D MajorD    A augmentedA      G+G
Walked the streets to the shore. Passed by the murals fading off of the walls
            D MajorD      A augmentedA      G+G
Still licking the fresh wounds from a hurricane in the fall. And I watch them
D MajorD    A augmentedA     G+G                   D MajorD
rebuild. I hummed a Ramone’s song out of key. Staring off at the skyline over
A augmentedA       G+G      C majorC     G+G     E minorEm      C majorC
shorebreak and remembering that this same ocean almost killed me. South
G+G     E minorEm   A augmentedA
Carolina, seafoam green.

G+G      D MajorD      A augmentedA   G+G       D MajorD       A augmentedA
You kept me waiting like the G+G Train. I held the door open for hours. I had to

walk away. I took the A augmentedA line out to Rockaway. I’m always drawn to the water.

I felt the weight.

*for this part, palm mute everything until the line “And I read that on a calendar long enough”

G+G       E minorEm       Cadd9Cadd9      AsusAsus
On a calendar long enough all my grief starts to decay.
G+G       E minorEm          Cadd9Cadd9      AsusAsus
On a calendar long enough it grows more useless by the day,
   G+G            E minorEm      Cadd9Cadd9
and I read that on a calendar long enough, New York will be returned to the
AsusAsus G+G         E minorEm      Cadd9Cadd9      AsusAsus
sea. When the water gets high enough, it’ll take back everything.
    G+G     E minorEm      Cadd9Cadd9       Asuslt A augmentedA
So the subway and the G+G Train, our apartment, all our memories come to
G+G        E minorEm     Cadd9Cadd9              AsusAsus
rest there under water, all the things that I thought meant the most to me.
     G+G        E minorEm     Cadd9Cadd9    AsusAsus
I try to picture it– just the top of the skyline at low tide,
       G+G     E minorEm      Cadd9Cadd9    AsusAsus
piercing the surface as the ships try to navigate their lanes,
     G(hold)  Em(hold)     Cadd9Cadd9  AsusAsus
and there alone and triumphant on the crest of a wave
    G(hold) A(hold) D MajorD
is the couch you gave away.
