[B]
[D] In my dreams I see myself [A] hitting a baseball In a green field somewhere [Bm] near a freeway
I'm all tan and smiling [D] and running from [A] third base
[D] Hot and the kids keep on [A] playing the driving game
And they're singing the [Bm] same goddamn refrain And [D] the sky's a [A] bluish gray
[D]
And [A] it's become just like [Bm] a chemical stress Tracing [D] the lines in my [Bm] face for
[D] Something more beautiful [Bm] than it's there I've [A] barely been gone
[D] [A]
[Bm] [D] [A] [D] In my dreams I see the foot [A] of some mountains We're taking [Bm] some pictures or something
[D] And we'd better hurry [A] up [D] And it's late and the sun keeps [A] on shooting through pine trees
And the grass things are [Bm] wet on your new jeans And [D] we'd better [A] hurry up
[D] And I've [A] become just like a [Bm] terrible mess [D] Searching the lines in [Bm] my face for
Something [D] more beautiful than [Bm] it's there The [A] crowds keep me coming back
[D] In [A] [Bm] [D]
[Bm] [D] [Bm]
[F#m] [A] [F#m] [D] my dreams I see you asleep [A] on a twin bed The covers [B] pulled up over your head
Am [D] I asleep [A] or awake?
[D] And it's morning and the captain is [A] playing the radio
And he's just put [A#] the paint [Bm] on his new boat Am [D] I asleep [A] or awake?
[D] [G] [A]

And it just feels good when you're waking up And it [Bm] just feels good when you're [D] next to me
And it just feels good when you're coming home [A#] And [Bm] it just feels good when you're waking [F] up
[D] [A] [Bm] [D]
[Bm] [D] [Bm] And [A] [D] I've [A] become just like a [Bm] chemical stress [D] Tracing the lines in [Bm] my face for
[D] Something more beautiful than [Bm] it's there I've [A] barely been gone
[D] [A] And I'm a failure I [Bm] swear I wish you [D] could see from [Bm] over there
I've [D] got a lot over [Bm] here without you [A] I've barely been gone
So I'm [D] dreaming
And
[C] she cried
[Em] [B] and [G] how she felt [C] [G]
[C] her skin And [F] I stayed [C#] [Em] and played [B] in [G]
[C] [G]
[C] the woods
[C#m] [Em] Like a [Dm] mask
[G] We were in Alaska
[E]
[Am] And I'd [G] sit there in order to take a seat [Em] And [Am] see those eaves and ice where [G] they smoked
And talked about the [C] disappearing world
[G] [C] [C#] [Em] [B]
