intro F5 - G5 
 
F5                      G5 
run away to the sea shore 
F5                          G5  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 
 

       C5               A5      
i dreamed that i saw you, you were 
       F5               G5 
down at the corner store 
       C5               A5 
you were lookin' through a magazine 
       F5                G5 
then you flew out the door, and i was 
      C5                  A5 
tryin' to wave to ya 
          F5                G5 
but you wouldn't wave back 
        C5              A5 
now you know i understand 
    F5                  G5      
you're with me only 
C5        A5 
in the past 
F5          G5 
only in the past 
 

        F5                G5 
and my palms are not open 
       F5                   G5 
they're closed, they're closed (x2) 
 
i dreamed ... 
 

(keep C5 - A5 - F- G5 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 

 
F5 - G5 - F5 - G5 (repeat) 
 i dreamed ... 
F5 - G5 - F5 - G5 - C5
