Tom: F
C
[Verse 1]
C F
Can a thing be erased?
C F
Why do you linger? You're out of place
Dm G
I think we should sell our home and move up to Maine
C Cm C
On an inlet that looks toward the bay
C F
I'll wear my best suit today
C F
I'll lend my shoulder, I'll cut the cake
Dm G
But remember that I can't be swayed
C
It's just courtesy
[Chorus]
C F C G
What can I say? I don't know what to say
F C G Am G
I'm not the same
C F F#m C G
You took my heart with you when you left
F C
I would follow you but something tells me that I can't
[Verse 2]
C F
At night you're out in the street
C F
Hiding in shadows, rustling trees
Dm G
Did you want me to save you a seat?
C
Well that's a whole lot to ask of me
C F
Oh come on now, don't be so mean
C F
I am the meanest, you don't have to compete
Dm G
I don't have to clench my fists or bare my teeth
C
You'll just hurt yourself (Yes you will)
[Chorus]
C F C G
What can I say? I don't know what to say
F C G Am G
I'm not the same
C F F#m C G
You took my heart with you when you left
F C
I would follow you but something tells me that I can't
[Bridge]
Gm
So I'm buying a house in Maine
Dm F
Where the ground takes May to thaw out
C Bb F
And Canada's a thirty minute drive
Gm
And I'm putting you away
Dm F
And I'll keep you out of sight, love
C Bb F
And we both know that I'm not gonna write
Dm G Am G
But know that I will figure you sometimes
C Cm C
[Solo]
C F C F Dm G C F C
[Chorus]
C F C G
What can I say? I don't know what to say
F C G Am G
I'm not the same
C F F#m C G
You took my heart with you when you left
F C
I would follow you but something tells me that I can't
F C
Oh I would follow you but I'm simply not the same
C
And tomorrow I am moving up to Maine
