C G Em D
C G Em D
Verse 1:
C G Em D
Driving out to California, the night I met you in this bed of mine
C G Em D
The wind blowing through all those palm trees, shaking bodies, under napalm skies
C G Em D
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?
Em7 D
Would you swim upriver when I'm surely on your mind?
C
And you're always calming me
G
Only in these dreams
Em7 D
Waking up the neighbors, screaming in these sweaty sheets
[Interlude]
C G Em7 D
Verse 2:
C G Em D
And I've been on the run for so long, I want a sad song that lasts all night
C G Em D
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?
Em7 D
Would you swim upriver when I'm surely on your mind?
C
And you're always calming me
G
Only in these dreams
Em7 D
Waking up the neighbors, screaming in these sweaty sheets
[Interlude]

G
Would you cut through pines?

Would you swim upriver when I'm surely on your mind?
C
And you're always calming me
G
Only in these dreams
Em7 D
Waking up the neighbors, screaming in these sweaty sheets
