my elusive dreams
I had your child in

Memphis, you heard of work in

Nashville
G 
We didn't find it there,
A 
so we moved on
to a small farm in
Nebraska, to a gold mine in
Alaska.
We didn't find it there,
B 
so we moved on.
E 
Now we've left
A 
B 
Alaska, because there
E 
was no gold mine.
A 
B 
But this time, only two of us move on.
E 
Em

And now all we have is each other.

And a little memory that

we can cling to.

But still, you won't let me go on alone.

For they're only fleeting things,
