Intro:
E       A       E       A
E       A       E       B

E                                 A
It's been a long time since I watched these lights alone
E                          A
I look around my life tonight and you are gone
E                                 A
i might have done something to keep you if I'd known
E                     B
How unhappy you'd become

E
Well I was dreaming of you
A
With my heart in your hands
E
And I was following through
C#m      B
With my beautiful plans
E       C#m  B

E             A                       E
Yeah, now I'm rolling down this canyon drive
C#m            B
With your laughter in my head
E                       A                E
Gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
B      (tacet)
'cuz those dreams are dead
E          A         E         A
But I'm alive

E                               A
I want to go where I will never hear your name
E                     A
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again
E                A
And I know I've been insane
E                            B
When I think of the places I could've been

E
But I was dreaming of you
A
With my heart in your hands
E
And I was following through
C#m      B
With my beautiful plans
E       C#m   B

(solo)
E       E
A
Standing here by the highway side
E
Watching these trucks blow by
C#m
Inches from my face
B                                 E
Yeah, thinking about the time I've wasted
(Dreaming of you)
A
And the pleasure we once tasted
(Dreaming of you)
E
Looking up and down this road
(Following through)
C#m      B
I've been here before
(Following through)
C#m   B
Can't be here no more
(Dreaming of you)
C#m               B
(Dreaming of you)

E             A                            E
Yeah, now I'm rolling down this California five
C#m            B
With your laughter in my head
E                       A                E
Gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
B      (tacet)
'cuz those dreams are dead
E          A         E         A
But I'm alive

E                                       A
Look at the way I believed in you and loved you all these years
E                                           A
Now you could fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears
E                                 A
You told me what was in your heart but  baby you lied
E                             A
And I thought that it would kill me,   but I'm alive!
