intro F - G 
 
F                      G 
run away to the sea shore 
F                          G  etc/ 
it doesn't matter anymore, it doesn't matter anymore 

words dry up and fly away 

with the passing of the days 

eventually, you just let the stone fall 
 

       C               Am      
i dreamed that i saw you, you were 
       F               G 
down at the corner store 
       C               Am 
you were lookin' through a magazine 
       F                G 
then you flew out the door, and i was 
      C                  Am 
tryin' to wave to ya 
          F                G 
but you wouldn't wave back 
        C              Am 
now you know i understand 
    F                  G      
you're with me only 
C        Am 
in the past 
F          G 
only in the past 
 

        F                G 
and my palms are not open 
       F                   G 
they're closed, they're closed (x2) 
 
i dreamed ... 
 

(keep C - Am - F- G rhythm ) 
colours streak the sky 

we laugh and we cry 

we danced in the cool grass 

with the fireflies 

we danced in the cool grass 

sunset birds' sweet, sweet music 

swallowed our words 

you set sail and you left this town 

run away, run away so far 

so far from me now 

 
F - G - F - G (repeat) 
 i dreamed ... 
F - G - F - G - C
