C5/G  G  Em  D5/A


Verse 1:
C5/G               G                   Em                     D5/A
Driving out to California, the night I met you in this bed of mine
    C5/G                           G                   Em                   D5/A
The wind blowing through all those palm trees, shaking bodies, under napalm skies
    C5/G                         G                  Em                        D5/A
The kids and all their fucked up virtues, I know it hurts you, when the party dies

Chorus:
                    C
Would you cross dry deserts, babe?
                      G
Would you cut through pines?
                 Em                            D
Would you swim upriver when I'm surely on your mind?
                  C
And you're always calming me
              G
Only in these dreams
              Em                                   D
Waking up the neighbors, screaming in these sweaty sheets


[Interlude]
C5/G  G  Em  D5/A


Verse 2:
    C5/G                     G                 Em                      D5/A
And I've been on the run for so long, I want a sad song that lasts all night
    C5/G                          G                  Em                  D5/A
The whites and blues on big, wide opens, the way I'm coping with passing time


Chorus:
                    C
Would you cross dry deserts, babe?
                      G
Would you cut through pines?
                 Em                            D
Would you swim upriver when I'm surely on your mind?
                  C
And you're always calming me
              G
Only in these dreams
              Em                                   D
Waking up the neighbors, screaming in these sweaty sheets

[Out-Chorus]
                    C
Would you cross dry deserts, babe?
                      G
Would you cut through pines?
                 Em                            D
Would you swim upriver when I'm surely on your mind?
                  C
And you're always calming me
              G
Only in these dreams
              Em                                   D
Waking up the neighbors, screaming in these sweaty sheets
