Verse:
F# D#m
Two months since you got back
F#
How have you been and are you bored yet?
F# D#m
The weather ain’t been bad
F#
If you’re into masochistic bullshit
F# D#m
And every photograph
F#
That’s taken here is from the summer
F# D#m
Some guy won Olympic gold
B F#
Eight years ago, a distance runner
F#
And that makes a lot of sense
D#m B F#
This place is such great motivation
F# D#m
For anyone tryna move
B
The f**k away from hibernation
F#
Yoo-hoo
G#m B
Ooh, ooh-ooh
F# G# B
Oh, no
Pre-chorus:
F# D#m
Well, I grew up in the fallout
B F#
From the riots in the nineties
F# D#m
Static cranes stand lifeless
B F#
Casting shadows on the town
F# D#m
I stare out that hallowed ocean
B F#
As if to pick a fight
F# D#m
For the dreams my old man dreamt for me
B
Lay on the other side, yeah
Chorus:
F# D#m
I would leave if only
C# B
I could find a reason
F# D#m
I’m mean because
C# B
I grew up in New England
F# D#m
I got dreams but
C# B
I can’t make myself believe them
D#m C#
Spendin’ the rest of my life
F# B
With what could have been
D#m C#
And I will die in the house
F# B
That I grew up in
Post-chorus:
F#
I’m homesick
B
I’m homesick
F#
I’m homesick
G#m B
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Chorus:
F# D#m
I would leave if only
C# B
I could find a reason
F# D#m
I’m mean because
C# B
I grew up in New England
F# D#m
I got dreams but
C# B
I can’t make myself believe them
D#m C#
Spendin’ the rest of my life
F# B
With what could have been
D#m C#
And I will die in the house
F# B
That I grew up in
Post-chorus:
F#
I’m homesick
B
I’m homesick
F#
I’m homesick
F# D#m C# B x4
