[E]
[C#]
[A]
[E] [B]
It's been [E] a long time [B] since I watched these [A] lights alone.
I [E] look around my life tonight [A] and you are gone.
[E] I might have done [B] something to keep you if [A]
I'd known
[E] how unhappy [B] you had been.
[E] But I was dreaming of you, with my [A] heart in your hands.
And I was following through [C#m] with my [B] beautiful [E] plan.
[C#m] [B] [E] Yeah, [A] I'm rolling down [E] this canyon drive
with [C#m] your laughter in [B] my head.
[E] But I have to block [A] it out somehow to [E] survive
cause those [B] dreams are dead and I'm [E] alive.
[E]
[A] I want to [E] go where I will [B] never hear your [A] name.
I want to lose my sorrow and be [A] free again.
And [E] I know [B] I feel [A] insane
[E] when I think of places [B] I could have been.
[E] But I was dreaming of you, with [A] my heart in your hands.
And [E] I was following through [C#m] with my [B] beautiful plan.
[E]
[C#m] [B] [E]
[B] [E]
[C#m] [B] [E]
Standing here by [A] the highway side
[E] watching these trucks blow by
inches [C#m] from my feet.
[B] I'm thinking about the time I [E] wasted
and the pleasure we both [A] tasted.
Looking up and down this road
[E]
[C#m] I've been here [B] before
[E]
I [C#m] can't be here [B] no more.
[E]
[C#m] [B] [E]
[A] I'm rolling down [E] California's by
[C#m] with your laughter in [C#] my head.
[E] But I have to [A] block it out somehow [E] to survive
cause those [B] dreams are dead and I'm [E] alive.
[A] [E]
[A] Yeah [E] baby I'm alive.
[A] [E]
[A] Yeah [E] I'm alive.
[A] [E]
[B] [E]
[B] [E] Hey so that's the way I believed in you
and loved you all these years.
Now you can feel the swimming pool [A] by my side.
[E] You told me what was in your [A] heart
and you made me realize
[E] that I thought that it would kill me
but I'm alive.
Yeah [A] I'm alive.
[E]
Yeah [A] I'm alive.
[E]
Yeah.
