[Intro]
D,A,G x4 (the strumming for the first verse is pretty odd,
try not to strum anything before the D string)
D A G
He invited me in; said his name was Jesse, and to take a look around
D A G
I found my coat at the bottom of the closet, dug it out. The only thing that she
D A G
left, there in the middle of the room, was the couch. She’d always hated the
D A G
pattern or the texture. I can’t remember it now.
(Normal strumming pattern again)
D A G D A G
I relived those nights there breaking down. I guess I’ll see myself out.
up/down G deadstrum
G D A G D A
You kept me waiting like the G Train. I held the door open for hours.
down/up/down G deadstrum
A G D A C G Em A
I had to walk away. I rode the A line out to Rockaway. I’m always drawn to the water.
A D A G
Walked the streets to the shore. Passed by the murals fading off of the walls
D A G
Still licking the fresh wounds from a hurricane in the fall. And I watch them
D A G D
rebuild. I hummed a Ramone’s song out of key. Staring off at the skyline over
A G C G Em C
shorebreak and remembering that this same ocean almost killed me. South
G Em A
Carolina, seafoam green.
G D A G D A
You kept me waiting like the G Train. I held the door open for hours. I had to

A G D A C G Em A
walk away. I took the A 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 Em Cadd9 Asus
On a calendar long enough all my grief starts to decay.
G Em Cadd9 Asus
On a calendar long enough it grows more useless by the day,
G Em Cadd9
and I read that on a calendar long enough, New York will be returned to the
Asus G Em Cadd9 Asus
sea. When the water gets high enough, it’ll take back everything.
G Em Cadd9 Asuslt A
So the subway and the G Train, our apartment, all our memories come to
G Em Cadd9 Asus
rest there under water, all the things that I thought meant the most to me.
G Em Cadd9 Asus
I try to picture it– just the top of the skyline at low tide,
G Em Cadd9 Asus
piercing the surface as the ships try to navigate their lanes,
G(hold) Em(hold) Cadd9 Asus
and there alone and triumphant on the crest of a wave
G(hold) A(hold) D
is the couch you gave away.
These are the tabs for the “And there alone and triumphant”

Then just lightly strum the Cadd9 and Asus chords respectively. ^^?
