The Bb used on the intro and versus is a different shape. If you look at the
"Chords Used" at the bottom, you'll see the shape to play.
~INTRO~
Bb* Dm X2
~VERSE 1~
Bb*
Talking to myself in a land locked parking lot
Dm
Cough drop dripping from my mouth like a long shot
Bb* Dm
My writers block ink, oh oh oh
Bb*
Sick of all the small talk dripping non-stop
Dm Bb*
From the open mouth graves of the faux-hawk cinderblock malls
Dm
My blood clot pen, oh oh oh

Maybe I could break clean
C
Maybe I could break clean
~CHORUS~
F
When I’m on your shore again
Bb
I can feel the ocean
Dm
I can feel your open arms
Bb
Like pure emotion
F
I’m finally free again
Bb
Like my own explosion
Dm
When I’m on your shore again
Bb
I can feel the ocean
~VERSE 2~
N.C
Saltwater running through my veins like a blind spot,
Dm
Like I got caught, saltwater like a tear drop
Bb* Dm
With a saltwater heart, oh oh oh
Bb*
It’s an abstract thought but I’ve been thinking non-stop
Dm
About the fact that my body’s made most out of rain drops
Bb* Dm
With a saltwater heart, oh oh oh

I can feel the ocean

This was a very quick tab, but the other versions before hadn't quite
pulled it off. So I hope these will help those wanting to learn how to play
a great song.
