[Verse]
DThank god it's quitting time Can't take no more Gof this weekday grind
But I ain't Bmready to head back hoAme and watch TVG  
Guess I'll drive down to Dthe pier Let the sun go dowGn on a six pack of beerBm  
GStare out through my windshield at the seaA  
[Chorus]
EmIn this gritty seacoast town Where the waDter pounds the sand
I Don't know wGhy I'm so surprised Things didn't work Aout like I planned
GIf I was a wave out on the ocean If I was a wave Dout on the sea
Free to go whichGever way the wind was blowing Maybe wash up on some farther shorEme
GWhere these blues can't follow mAe
[Verse 2]
Got a small apartment on MunjoDy Hill Didn't want too much space Gto fill
It's just a Bmbed, a pull out coucAh and a kitcheneGtte
Weekends my kid ain't sleepDing over There's just no point Gin trying to stay soberBm  
GCause there ain't no good example I need setA  
[Chorus]
EmIn this gritty seacoast town Where the winter neDver ends
Twice a Gday the tide goes out Heaven knows why it ever rAolls back in
GIf I was a wave out on the ocean If I was a wave Dout on the sea
Free to go whichGever way the wind was blowing Maybe wash up on some farther shorEme
AWhere these blues can't follow me
[Verse 2]
Maybe it's deDstiny Or just my mind playing Gtricks on me
Keeps me wanting Bmsomething that's always out of rAeachG  
                              D                                 G
I bet there's soBmmebody somewhere else Who's somehow managed to convince himself
GHe'd be happier if he washed up on this beachA  
[Chorus]
Oh it’s a griEmtty seacoast town Five beer moon Dshining down on me
I'll save the last one 'til I get bGack home God, I hope there ain't no re-runs on TAV
GIf I was a wave out on the ocean If I was a wave Dout on the sea
Free to go whichGever way the wind was blowing Maybe wash up on some farther shorEme
GWhere these blues can't fAollow me    They can’t follow meD

Stare out through my windshield at the sea
