Intro:
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm

Verse:
    FF    C majorC      G+G       C majorC
I grew up on an island, somewhere near Chicago
    FF      C majorC   G+G       A minorAm
Learned how to talk tough, just like downtown
    FF        C majorC    G+G       C majorC
You can drive to the lake and it sure seemed to me
    FF         C majorC     G+G       A minorAm
That it smelled like fresh water, but felt like the sea

Chorus:
FF   C majorC      G+G    A minorAm
That's right, it's so long now
  FF     C majorC       G+G     A minorAm
You cannot fight this thing any old how
    FF  C majorC     G+G     A minorAm
You can run fast, you can try so hard
    FF        C majorC      G+G    A minorAm   FF  C majorC G+G A minorAm
But you can't shake the ache or the lake of who you are

Verse:
     FF      C majorC    G+G       C majorC
There was nothing to do but to shut up and drive
    FF        C majorC         G+G       A minorAm
To the water, down the back roads, to the south and east sides
   FF         C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Some girls got through high school, some never will
     FF       C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
And some walked with a hunger they never would fill

Chorus:
FF   C majorC      G+G    A minorAm
That's right, it's so long now
  FF     C majorC       G+G     A minorAm
You cannot fight this thing any old how
    FF  C majorC     G+G     A minorAm
You can run fast, you can try so hard
    FF        C majorC      G+G    A minorAm   FF  C majorC G+G A minorAm
But you can't shake the ache or the lake of who you are

Verse:
      FF        C majorC       G+G        C majorC
But you can cough out the city, you could change your old clothes
    FF      C majorC     G+G      A minorAm
You can soften your accent so nobody knows
    FF    C majorC    G+G       C majorC
But whenever I'm honest, something in me
   FF        C majorC        G+G   A minorAm
Still looks for fresh water that feels like the sea

Chorus:
FF   C majorC      G+G    A minorAm
That's right, it's so long now
  FF     C majorC       G+G     A minorAm
You cannot fight this thing any old how
    FF  C majorC     G+G     A minorAm
You can run fast, you can try so hard
    FF        C majorC      G+G    A minorAm   FF
But you can't shake the ache or the lake of who you are

Bridge:
    G/BG/B C majorC  FF C majorC
I close my eyes
     G+G
And I can still see
   A minorAm G/BG/B  C majorC   FF C majorC
That no one forgets
          G+G
What it's like to be and who it is to be

FF C majorC G+G A minorAm

Verse:
      FF    C majorC      G+G      C majorC
Oh, if you see me inclining when no one is speaking
    FF       C majorC       G+G      A minorAm
If you sense that I'm wandering somewhere in my mind
    FF      C majorC     G+G       C majorC
If you listen real close you might hear the whisper
   FF     C majorC       G+G          A minorAm
Or see how the sunsets on the lake could shine and shine

Chorus:
FF   C majorC      G+G    A minorAm
That's right, it's so long now
  FF     C majorC       G+G     A minorAm
You cannot fight this thing any old how
    FF  C majorC     G+G     A minorAm
You can run fast, you can try so hard
    FF        C majorC      G+G    A minorAm FF C majorC G+G A minorAm   FF  C majorC G+G A minorAm
But you can't shake the ache or the lake of who________ you are

I grew up on an island, somewhere near Chicago
    FF      C majorC   G+G       A minorAm
Learned how to talk tough, just like downtown
