When I went to your town on the wide open shore,
A D GOh I must confess I was drawn, I was drawn to the ocean,
I thought it spoke to me, it said, ³Look at us,
B G A B GWe're not churches, not schools, not skating ponds, swimming pools,
EAnd we have lost people, havenıt we though?²
Oh, that's what the ocean can know of a body,
G A F#And that's when I came back to town, this town is a song about you.
G A B G A B G AYou don't know how lucky you are, you don't know how much I adore you,
You are the welcoming back from the ocean.
I went back to the ocean today,
A D GWith my books and my papers I went to the rocks by the ocean,
G/F# E ABut the weather changed quickly, oh the ocean said,
³What are you trying to find, I donıt care, Iım not kind,
G EIıve bludgeouned your sailors, Iıve spat out their keepsakes,
A DOh itıs ashes to ashes, but always the ocean,²
But the ocean can't come to this town, this town is a song about you.
G A B G A B G AYou don't know how lucky you are, you don't know how much I adore you,
B G A E A DYou are the welcoming back from the ocean.

G G/F# A b (4 times)
And the ones that can know you so well are the ones that can swallow you whole.
I have a good and I have an evil, I thought the ocean, the ocean thought
nothing,
You are the welcoming back from the ocean.
I didn't go back today,
A D GI wanted to show you that I was more land than water,
G/F# E AI went to pick flowers. I brought them to you,
Look at me, look at them, with their salt up the stem,
G EBut you frowned when I smiled and I tried to arrange them,
A DYou said, ³Let me tell you the song of this town,²
You said, ³Everything closes at five. After that, well, you just got the bars,
G A B GYou donıt know how precious you are,
A B G Awalking around with your little shoes dangling,
I am the one who lives with the ocean,
It's where we came from, you know, and sometimes I just want to go back.
G A B GAfter a day, we drink ıtil weıre drowning,
A B G Awalk to the ocean, wade in with our workboots,
Wade in our workboots, try to finish the job.
G A B G A B G AYou don't know how precious you are, I am the one who lives with the ocean.
B G A B G A B E A DYou don't know how I am the one. You don't know how I am the one.²
