Verse 1:
F#
Tell me, lover
F#
Now that you made your change
F#
Was your soul rediscovered?
Was your heart rearranged?
B
Are you still taking pills in the morning?
B
And did you lose that longing now?
For a walk through an ocean town
F#
'Cause this town's just an ocean now
Verse 2:
F#
You don't hate the summers
F#
You're just afraid of the space
Asking strangers for answers
To forget what they say
B
A boat without a dock in the sunlight
B
Nothing but the water and the sunrise now
Just the lack of an open mouth
F#
'Cause this town's just an ocean now
Chorus:
Bet I'll miss this place, your head and your heart
B
And my dad still tells me when they're playing your songs
D#m C#
Laughing at the way, that you would say
B
If only, baby, there were cameras in the traffic lights
They'd make me a star
F#
They'd make me a star
Post-Chorus:
B F#
I wanna go to Maine
B F#
I wanna go to Maine, oh
Chorus:
Bet I'll miss this place, your head and your heart
B
And my dad still tells me when they're playing your songs
D#m C#
Laughing at the way, that you would say
B
If only, baby, there were cameras in the traffic lights
They'd make me a star
F#
They'd make me a star
Post-Chorus:
B F#
I wanna go to Maine
B F#
I wanna go to Maine, God
Outro:
F#
Tell me, lover
F#
Once you've had your change of heart
F#
'Cause we're no more than the fossils
On Crescent Beach State Park
B
And we used to sing along to church bells on sundays
And can you even hear 'em from the subway now?
N.C.
And I hope that we make you proud
'Cause this town's just an ocean now
