[Intro] Am C G Am C {Verse]
          G                Em          D   C             
I washed chain grease and blood off of my hands in the ocean;

          G            D                 C      
I let the salt water rinse the dirt away.

         G         Em       D    C
I stood calm in a room I hadn't been in in a decade.

        G              D                   C
I felt dizzy, used to stand here everyday.
[Pre-Chorus]
C C/B Am                         C           C/B  Am
.........Wait out the storm in a harbor town.

                         C   C/B Am 
Pretend I'll see you in fall.

                         Em
Wait out the storm in a harbor town.

D
Whoa.
[Chorus]
     G           G/F#
Hey Hannah, don't go.

               Em              C         C/B
We could have given you such a beautiful home.

        Am
I won't call.

                          C/B C
Know you're waiting right outside.
N.C. Thanks for the ride. [Interlude] Am C G Am C [Verse] N.C. I watched lines of container ships drift in just off of Long Beach.
           G                D                  C
I thought long about where you would be today.

           G           Em           D   C
We'd lose touch after college came and went.

                                  G            Em
I'd hear you got married to some boy from California;

     D  C
Have a baby on the way.
[Pre-Chorus]
C C/B Am                         C           C/B  Am

I'm letting balloons drift off

      D                C#5
tiny gifts to a lonely god.
