[C] [F] [C] [F]
[C] [F] [C] [G]
It's been a [C]long time since I watched these li[F]ghts alone
I look [C]around my life tonight and [F]you are gone
i might have [C]done something to keep you if I'd [F]known
[C] How unhappy you'd be[G]come
Well I was [C]dreaming of you
With my [F]heart in your hands
And I was [C]following through
With my [Am]beautiful[G] plans
[C] [Am] [G]
[C]Yeah, now I'm [F]rolling down this canyon[C] drive
With your [Am]laughter in my [G]head
[C]Gonna have to block it o[F]ut somehow to sur[C]vive
B (tacet)
'cuz those dreams are dead
But I'm alive[C] [F] [C] [F]
I want to [C]go where I will never hear your [F]name
I want to [C]lose my sorrow and be [F]free again
And I [C]know I've been in[F]sane
[C]When I think of the places I [G]could've been
But I was [C]dreaming of you
With my [F]heart in your hands
And I was [C]following through
With my [Am]beautiful[G] plans
[C] [Am] [G]
(solo)
[C] [C]
Standing here by the [F]highway side
Watching these [C]trucks blow by
Inches from my [Am]face
Yeah, [G]thinking about the time I've waste[C]d
(Dreaming of you)
And the pleasure we once taste[F]d
(Dreaming of you)
Looking up and down this road[C]
(Following through)
I've been [Am]here befo[G]re
(Following through)
Can't be [Am]here n[G]o more
(Dreaming of you)
[Am](Dreaming of you)[G]
[C]Yeah, now I'm [F]rolling down this California [C]five
With your [Am]laughter in my [G]head
[C]Gonna have to block it o[F]ut somehow to sur[C]vive
B (tacet)
'cuz those dreams are dead
But I'm alive[C] [F] [C] [F]
[C]Look at the way I believed in you and lo[F]ved you all these years
[C]Now you could fill a swimming pool with all [F]my salty tears
You [C]told me what was in your heart but[F] baby you lied
And I [C]thought that it would kill me,[F] but I'm alive!
