I descended a dusty gravel ridge
-3” -5 -6 6 -6 6 -5 -4 4
Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bri-dge
-3” 7 -6 -4 -8 7 -6 6 -5
Until I eventually arrived
-5 -6 6 6 -6 6 4 -5
At the place where your soul had died
-5 -6 6 -6 6 4 -4
Barefoot in the shallow creek
-2” -5 -6 6 -6 7 -6 6 -5
I grabbed some stones from un-der-ne-ath
-2” -5 6 -6 6 -6 6 4 -4
And waited for you to speak to me
4 4 7 -6 4 4 -8 7 -6 6 -5
In the silence it became so very clear
-2” -5 -6 6 6 -6 6 -5 -4 4
That you had long ago dis-ap-pe-ared
1 7 -6 -8 7 -6 -6 6 -5
I cursed myself for being surprised
-5 6 -66 6 6 -6 6 -3’ 4 -5
That this didn't play like it did in my mind
-5 6 -6 6 -6 6 3 4 -4
All th-e way from San Francisco
-5 -6 6 -6 7 -6 6 -5
As I chased the end of your road
-5 -6 6 -6 6 4 -4
'Cause I've still got miles to go
4 -6 6 -6 6 4 -4
And I want to know my fate
-5 6 -6 7 -6 6 -5
If I keep up this wa-y
4 -6 6 -6 6 4 -4
But it's hard to want to stay
4 -6 5 4
A-w-a-ke
-6 6 -6 6 4 -4
When everyone you meet
-3’ -6 6 -6 7 -6 6 -5
They all seem to be a-sle-ep
-3’ -6 6 6 6 -6 6 3 4 -5 -4
And you wonder if you're missing a dre-am
3 -6 6 -5 -4 -4 6
You can't seeeeee a dream (x2)
-3 -3 -6 6-66 -5-4-4 6-4
You just can't seeeeeeeeeeee a dre-am
3 -3 4 -5
A dr-e-am (x2)
-2” -3 4 -5
A dr-e-am (x7)
4 7 -6 -8 7 -6 6 -5
And then it started getting dark
4 4 -5 -6 6 6 -6 6 -5 -4 4
And I trudged back to where the car was pa-rked
4 7 -6 4 -8 7 -6 6 -5
No closer to any kind of truth
-5 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 4 -5
As I must assume was the case with you
