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.

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

My writers block ink, oh oh oh

Sick of all the small talk dripping non-stop

From the open mouth graves of the faux-hawk cinderblock malls
My blood clot pen, oh oh [Dm]oh

Maybe I could break [Bb]clean
Maybe I could break [C]clean
~CHORUS~
When I?m on your [F]shore again
I can feel the [Bb]ocean

Like pure e[Bb]motion
I?m finally [F]free again
Like my own ex[Bb]plosion
When I?m on your [Dm]shore again
I can feel the [Bb]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

It?s an abstract thought but I?ve been thinking non-stop
About the [Dm]fact that my body?s made most out of rain drops

With a saltwater heart, oh oh oh

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.
