Intro
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
Em G Cmaj7 G
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
I wanna live in the land of lakes
Where the great waves break
And the night runs right into the day
I wanna be with ones I left
But I'm way out west
And the years keep on slipping away
I wanna run on the sacred dunes
Through the ancient runes
Where the fires of my ancestors burned
I remember that fateful day
When I ran away
And you told me to never return
D
You made me swear I'd never forget
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
D
I made a vow I'd see you again
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
I will be back one day
Em G Cmaj7 G
And I'll find you there by the great big lake
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
I been running a long, long time
Trying to flee that life
But I can't seem to leave it behind
Wanna visit the windswept shores
Of a time before
When the moon and the stars were aligned
I remember the bright spring day
When you sparked that flame
And a fire that continues to burn
I remember the day I left
Headin' way out west
When you told me to never return
D
You made me swear I'd never forget
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
D
I made a vow I'd see you again
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
I will be back one day
Em G Cma7 G
And I'll find you there by the great big lake
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
Em G Cmaj7 G
