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