[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]
Continues after the ad
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

[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
