Eastern Coast chords by Jeff Rosenstock

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Intro:

E
Sometimes I go to work I just don't feel right
E
Sometimes I wake up and it all feels wrong
A                             F#m
So when I come down from the heights of anxiety
A
Meet me at the airport with your blue dress on

E
Sometimes I spend my nights tossing and turning
E
Thinking about my wasted days and wishing I'd done more
A                           F#m
So pretend that we're not people with problems
A

Plowin' through the evening like tomorrow won't come

Verse:
E
'Cause I would rather wake up hungover
E
Than go to bed regretting this night's over

A
I can live on three hours sleep
A             Am
I can make mistakes I'll repeat

Chorus:
E
You and I skulling mojitos
       G#m                        Gm
On the eastern coast of a pretty place
       F#m
And a stranger from California
         A
With a friendly smile and a sunburnt face
      E
To reminiscing about October
G#m                            Gm
When the superstorm took our shores away
         F#m
And if I see you in New York City
         E
I'll buy you one more if you know my name

Verse:

'Cause I would rather wake up hungover

When the superstorm took our shores away
         F#m
And if I see you in New York City
         E
I'll buy you a beer if you don't forget my name

Bridge:
E
Sometimes I wake up and I just don't feel right
E
Sometimes I go to work and it all feels wrong
F#m
Sometimes I know I'm not myself when I'm hanging out
F#m
Staring out the window like there's something going on

E
Sometimes I get distracted by the nagging fear that
E
The future that I'm building ain't the future that I want
F#m
So when I come up from the depths of anxiety
F#m
Meet me at the ocean with your swim trunks on

Chorus:
N.C.
You and I skulling mojitos

On the eastern coast of a pretty place
      F#m
And a stranger from California
       A
With a friendly smile and a sunburnt face
      E
To reminiscing about October
G#m                           Gm
When the superstorm took our shores away
         F#m
And if I see you in New York City
          A
I'll buy you one more and we'll lay real hard if you don't forget my name
