[Pre Chorus]
            D
You build a boat
            G
You build a life
              A
You lose your friends
              G
You lose your wife
           D         G
You settle in to a routine
          A
Where are you

What does it mean

And I’m not how you hoped
                        G
Forgive my northern attitude
                                D
Oh, I was raised out in the cold
D                     G
If the sun don't rise
                    A
Till the summertime
                        G
Forgive my northern attitude
                                D
Oh, I was raised on little light
