Verse:
G# Fm
Two months since you got back
G#
How have you been and are you bored yet?
G# Fm
The weather ain’t been bad
G#
If you’re into masochistic bullshit
G# Fm
And every photograph
G#
That’s taken here is from the summer
G# Fm
Some guy won Olympic gold
C# G#
Eight years ago, a distance runner
G#
And that makes a lot of sense
Fm C# G#
This place is such great motivation
G# Fm
For anyone tryna move
C#
The f**k away from hibernation
G#
Yoo-hoo
A#m C#
Ooh, ooh-ooh
G# A# C#
Oh, no
Pre-chorus:
G# Fm
Well, I grew up in the fallout
C# G#
From the riots in the nineties
G# Fm
Static cranes stand lifeless
C# G#
Casting shadows on the town
G# Fm
I stare out that hallowed ocean
C# G#
As if to pick a fight
G# Fm
For the dreams my old man dreamt for me
C#
Lay on the other side, yeah
Chorus:
G# Fm
I would leave if only
D# C#
I could find a reason
G# Fm
I’m mean because
D# C#
I grew up in New England
G# Fm
I got dreams but
D# C#
I can’t make myself believe them
Fm D#
Spendin’ the rest of my life
G# C#
With what could have been
Fm D#
And I will die in the house
G# C#
That I grew up in
Post-chorus:
G#
I’m homesick
C#
I’m homesick
G#
I’m homesick
A#m C#
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Chorus:
G# Fm
I would leave if only
D# C#
I could find a reason
G# Fm
I’m mean because
D# C#
I grew up in New England
G# Fm
I got dreams but
D# C#
I can’t make myself believe them
Fm D#
Spendin’ the rest of my life
G# C#
With what could have been
Fm D#
And I will die in the house
G# C#
That I grew up in
Post-chorus:
G#
I’m homesick
C#
I’m homesick
G#
I’m homesick
