Biography:
Maritime is an American indie-pop band formed in Milwaukee in 2003 after the breakup of The Promise Ring and The Dismemberment Plan.
After these two bands broke up, singer/guitarist Davey von Bohlen, drummer Dan Didier (of The Promise Ring) and bassist Eric Axelson (of The Dismemberment Plan) hooked up and started a band called In English. The group quickly signed a deal with the record label,ANTI-, and hired J. Robbins to produce their record. Robbins had previously produced records for both The Promise Ring and The Dismemberment Plan.

I figured these chords by ear and got the chord names from Guitar Pro, they may or may
not be accurate. The chords themselves may or may not be accurate. I got the lyrics from
another website, so they may or may not be accurate either, and I can't always tell what
Davey is saying myself.
Here is how I play the chords According to the parts of the song and such, the only one
I'm not entirely fond of is the D11 over the "if it hurts you breathe in" because it
doesn't sound right to me, and after fiddling for a while I could find the appropriate
chord that it sounds like they play there, so please leave a comment if you're aware of the
correct chord. I play the D11 that way and it doesn't sound too awful, though.
You could probably also just play the chords without the 7's and the add9 stuff and just
do regular majors and minors but I tried to make it sound as accurate to the song as I could.
Otherwise, thanks for checking it out, this is my first time figuring out chords by ear. :)
