F C G Am
F C G Am
[Verse]
F C G C
I grew up on an island, somewhere near Chicago
F C G Am
Learned how to talk tough, just like downtown
F C G C
You can drive to the lake and it sure seemed to me
F C G Am
That it smelled like fresh water, but felt like the sea
[Chorus]
F C G Am
That's right, it's so long now
F C G Am
You cannot fight this thing any old how
F C G Am
You can run fast, you can try so hard
F C G Am F C G Am
But you can't shake the ache or the lake of who you are
[Verse]
F C G C
There was nothing to do but to shut up and drive
F C G Am
To the water, down the back roads, to the south and east sides
F C G C
Some girls got through high school, some never will
F C G Am
And some walked with a hunger they never would fill
[Chorus]
F C G Am
That's right, it's so long now
F C G Am
You cannot fight this thing any old how
F C G Am
You can run fast, you can try so hard
F C G Am F C G Am
But you can't shake the ache or the lake of who you are
[Verse]
F C G C
But you can cough out the city, you could change your old clothes
F C G Am
You can soften your accent so nobody knows
F C G C
But whenever I'm honest, something in me
F C G Am
Still looks for fresh water that feels like the sea
[Chorus]
F C G Am
That's right, it's so long now
F C G Am
You cannot fight this thing any old how
F C G Am
You can run fast, you can try so hard
F C G Am F
But you can't shake the ache or the lake of who you are
