Verse 1:
D
Bright blue hydrangeas
G                 D
Lost in the weeds
                                         G
Bus stops and barbed wire on the way to stare
                                       Em
At the heart of the earth from the Poas peak
                                         G       Em
Just like the ones that we grew back in Jersey
                                     G
Hung upside down, drying out for the wedding


Verse 2:
D                                               G
There's a man with his head in his hands on the sidewalk
D                                           G
His wife's there behind him just off of the street
D                                         G        D
She scratches his back as he sobs on the asphalt
                                 G
And what strikes me most is the symmetry
                             Em
How they're framed just like you and me
                                    G
When the light from the hospital's eastern wing
        Em                                               G
Tangles up in your hair and the sadness it pooled in my heart
                   G
Starts emptying slowly


Chorus:
    D  C#m  Bm        A          G
Well I saw you last night in my dream
                D   C#m  Bm    A                G      D
And there were hydrangeas where your face should be


Verse 3:
                                       G           D
The redwoods feel lonely and lunar and distant
                                                  G     D
The sun comes in fragments through breaks in the trees
                                            G
And I feel further from home than I've ever been
                                                   G
These thin lines of light across space tether you to me
                 Em                                 G
They pull in my memories, back to our apartment on 2nd Street
         Em                                                       G
Through the South-facing window the light catches lengths of your hair

Like a path that you left me


Chorus:
     D  C#m  Bm      A           G
Well I saw you last night in my dream
                D  C#m    Bm       A          G
But there were azaleas where your face should be


Bridge:
           D/F#            Em
Pieces of us in the morning sun
                       G
Sleeping bags under the 101
        D/F#       Em
She takes off his glasses and she falls asleep again
                                          G
They don't got much but goddamn they got love


Chorus:
    D  C#m  Bm       A           G     G
Well I saw you last night in my dream
         D    C#m    Bm           A                   G
I'm gonna marry you underneath driftwood from Crescent City
