[Verse 1]
DWe cut the legs off of our pants
AThrew our shoes into the ocean
F#mSit back and wave through the daylight
ESit back and wave through the daylight
DSlip and slide on subway grates
AThese shoes are poor mans ice skates
F#mFall through like change in the daylight
EFall through like change in the daylight
[Verse 2]
DI miss yellow lines in my roads
ASome color on monochrome
F#mMaybe I'll paint them in myself
EMaybe I'll paint them in myself
DThese sidewalks liquid then stone
ABuilding walls and an old pay phone
F#mIt rings like all through the daylight
EIt rings like all through the daylight
[Chorus]
DAnd in the daylight we can hitAchhike to Maine
I hope that sF#momeday I'll see withEout these frames
DAnd in the daylight I don't pick Aup my phone
'cause in the daF#mylight anywhere feeEls like home
[Verse 3]
DI have five clocks in my life
AAnd only one has the time right
F#mI'll just unplug it for today
EI'll just unplug it for today
DOpen hydrant rolled down windows
AThis car might make a good old boat
F#mAnd float down grand street in daylight
EAnd float down grand street in daylight
DAnd with just half of a sunburn
A
F#mNew yellow lines that I earned
Step back and here comes the night time
EStep back and here comes the night time
[Chorus]
DAnd in the daylight we can hitAchhike to Maine
I hope that sF#momeday I'll see withEout these frames
DAnd in the daylight I don't pick Aup my phone
'cause in the daF#mylight anywhere feeEls like home

F#m

[Verse 1]

We cut the legs off of our pants

Threw our shoes into the ocean

F#m

Sit back and wave through the daylight

Slip and slide on subway grates

These shoes are poor mans ice skates

F#m

Fall through like change in the daylight

[Verse 2]

I miss yellow lines in my roads

Some color on monochrome

F#m

Maybe I'll paint them in myself

These sidewalks liquid then stone

Building walls and an old pay phone

F#m

It rings like all through the daylight

[Chorus]

D A

And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine

F#m E

I hope that someday I'll see without these frames

D A

And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone

F#m E

'cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

[Verse 3]

I have five clocks in my life

And only one has the time right

F#m

I'll just unplug it for today

Open hydrant rolled down windows

This car might make a good old boat

F#m

And float down grand street in daylight

And with just half of a sunburn

F#m

New yellow lines that I earned

Step back and here comes the night time

[Chorus]

D A

And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine

F#m E

I hope that someday I'll see without these frames

D A

And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone

F#m E

'cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
