      [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
.........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.

                          C/B C    Cm
Know you're waiting right outside.

[Bridge]

               Em              Eb5
I'm letting balloons drift off
      D                C#5
tiny gifts to a lonely god.
         C              Cm
Darlin' please wake up.
               Em              Eb5
I'm letting balloons drift off
      D                C#5
tiny gifts to a lonely god.
        C               
If you see her tell her I'm not giving up.
Cm                Eb5
(See her tell her I'm not giving up.)
