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
