[Verse]
D G
Thank god it's quitting time Can't take no more of this weekday grind
Bm A G
But I ain't ready to head back home and watch TV
D G Bm
Guess I'll drive down to the pier Let the sun go down on a six pack of beer
G A
Stare out through my windshield at the sea
[Chorus]
Em D
In this gritty seacoast town Where the water pounds the sand
G A
I Don't know why I'm so surprised Things didn't work out like I planned
G D
If I was a wave out on the ocean If I was a wave out on the sea
G Em
Free to go whichever way the wind was blowing Maybe wash up on some farther shore
G A
Where these blues can't follow me
[Verse 2]
D G
Got a small apartment on Munjoy Hill Didn't want too much space to fill
Bm A G
It's just a bed, a pull out couch and a kitchenette
D G Bm
Weekends my kid ain't sleeping over There's just no point in trying to stay sober
G A
Cause there ain't no good example I need set
[Chorus]
Em D
In this gritty seacoast town Where the winter never ends
G A
Twice a day the tide goes out Heaven knows why it ever rolls back in
G D
If I was a wave out on the ocean If I was a wave out on the sea
G Em
Free to go whichever way the wind was blowing Maybe wash up on some farther shore
A
Where these blues can't follow me
[Verse 2]
D G
Maybe it's destiny Or just my mind playing tricks on me
Bm A G
Keeps me wanting something that's always out of reach
D G
Bm
I bet there's somebody somewhere else Who's somehow managed to convince himself
G A
He'd be happier if he washed up on this beach
[Chorus]
Em D
Oh it’s a gritty seacoast town Five beer moon shining down on me
G A
I'll save the last one 'til I get back home God, I hope there ain't no re-runs on TV
G D
If I was a wave out on the ocean If I was a wave out on the sea
G Em
Free to go whichever way the wind was blowing Maybe wash up on some farther shore
G A D
Where these blues can't follow me They can’t follow me
D G
Thank god it's quitting time Can't take no more of this weekday grind
Bm A G
But I ain't ready to head back home and watch TV
D G Bm
Guess I'll drive down to the pier Let the sun go down on a six pack of beer

In this gritty seacoast town Where the water pounds the sand
