Verse 1
(G major) I spent a week drinking the sunlight
of Winnetka, California
Where they understand the weight
of human hearts
You see, sorrow gets too heavy
and joy it tends to hold you
With the fear that it eventually
departs
And the truth (C major) is I've been dream (D major) ing of (G major) some tired tranquil
Verse 2
(E minor) place
(G major) Where the weather won't
(D major) get trapped inside (G major) my bones
And if all (C major) the years (D major) of searching find
(G major) one sympathetic (E minor) face
(C major) Then it's there I will plant (D major) these seeds
and make (G major) my home

Verse 3
(G major)
I spent a day dreaming of dying in Mesa,
Arizona
Where all the green of life
had turned to ash
And I felt I was on fire,
with the things I could have told you
I guess I just assumed that you eventually
would ask
Verse 4
And I would (C major) n't have (D major) to bring
up my (G major) so badly broken (E minor) heart
And all (C major) those months (D major) I just wanted
(G major) to sleep
And though spring, (C major) it did (D major) come slowly,
I guess (G major) it did it's (E minor) part
(C major) My heart has thawed
(D major) and continues (G major) to beat
Verse 5
(G major)
I visited my brother on the outskirts
of Olympia
Where the forest and the water
become one
And we talked about our childhood,
like a dream we were convinced of
That perfect peaceful street
where we came from
And I know (C major) he heard
Verse 6
(D major) me strumming all
(G major) those sad and simple chord (E minor) s
As I sat (C major) inside my room (D major) so long (G major) ago
(C major) An d it hurts that he's still shak (D major) ing from
(G major) those secrets that (E minor) were told
(C major) By a car closed up (D major) too tight
and a heart (G major) turned cold
Verse 7
And I went (G major) to San Diego, (E minor)
(C major) the birth (D major) place of the summer
And watched the ocean (G major) dance
(D major) under the moon (G major)
And there was a girl (G major) I knew there,
one more potential lover
I guess that something's got
to happen (G major) soon (G major)
(C major) Because I know I can't keep liv
Verse 8
(D major) ing in
this dead (G major) or dying (E minor) dream
And as I (C major) walked along the beach
(D major) and drank (G major) with her
I thought (C major) about (D major) my true love,
(G major) the one I really (E minor) need
(C major) With eyes that burn so bright, (D major)
(G major) they make me pure
Verse 9
They (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) make me pure
They make me pure
I long (C major) (D major) to be (G major) with you (C major)
