  			D 
We cut the legs off of our pants 
A 
Threw our shoes into the ocean 
F# 
Sit back and wave through the daylight 
E 
Sit back and wave through the daylight 

D 
Slip and slide on subway grates 
A 
These shoes are poor mans ice skates 
F# 
Fall through like change in the daylight 
E 
Fall through like change in the daylight 

I miss yellow lines in my roads 
Some color on monochrome 
Maybe I'll paint them in myself 
Maybe I'll paint them in myself 

These sidewalks liquid then stone 
Building walls and an old pay phone 
It rings like all through the daylight 
It rings like all through the daylight 

D                             A 
And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine 
             F#                 E  
I hope that someday I'll see without these frames 
D                                A 
And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone 
                F#                E 
'cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home  

I have five clocks in my life 
And only one has the time right 
I'll just unplug it for today 
I'll just unplug it for today 

Open hydrant rolled down windows 
This car might make a good old boat 
And float down grand street in daylight 
And float down grand street in daylight 

And with just half of a sunburn 
New yellow lines that I earned 
Step back and here comes the night time 
Step back and here comes the night time 

And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine 
I hope that someday I'll see without these frames 
And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone 
'cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
