(strike E string (*boom*) then upper G B E strings (*strum*))
[G]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[C] truth is Iâ??ve be[D]en dreaming of so[G]me tired tranqui[Em]l place
Where the [C]weather wonâ??t ge[D]t trapped inside m[G]y bones
And if [C]all the years of [D]searching find one [G]sympathetic [Em]face
Then it's [C]there I'll [D]plant these seeds and make my [G]home
[G]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 just assumed that you eventually would ask
And I [C]wouldnâ??t have to[D] bring up my so [G]badly broken [Em]heart
And [C]all those months I [D]just wanted to [G]sleep
And though [C]spring, it did come [D]slowly; I [G]guess it did its [Em]part
My heart has [C]thawed and [D]continues to [G]beat
[G]And 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 that we came from
And I [C]know he heard me [D]strumming all those [G]sad and simple [Em]chords
As I [C]sat inside my [D]room so long [G]ago
And it [C]hurts that [D]heâ??s stil[G]l shaking from those secrets that wer[Em]e told
By a [C]car closed up too [D]tight and a heart turned [G]cold
(MUTE ALL STINGS)
And I went to San Diego, and the birthplace of the summer
And watched the ocean dance under the moon
There was a girl I knew there, one more potential lover
I guess that somethingâ??s gotta happen soon
Cause I [C]know I canâ??t kee[D]p living in thi[G]s dead or dyin[Em]g dream
As I [C]walked along the [D]beach and drank with [G]her
I thought [C]about my [D]true love, the [G]one I really [Em]need
With [C]eyes that burn so [D]bright, they make me [G]pure
[G]They make me pure, they make me pure
I [C]long to [D]be with [G]you
[G]They make me pure, they make me pure
And I [C]long to [D/A]be with [G]you
