From the album "Stare" (1996)


Verse 1:
Dm               C                 
I'm on a side'o' canyon road   
Dm                    C 
An' people drive and stare   
Dm                C
I'm eating dust inside my throat   
Dm            Bb              C
Away from the face I wouldn't wear  
               
Verse2:             
Bb                 F                  
The ground spins inside my head   
Bb                   F
And I can't drive anymore   
Bb               
Just bring my body down   
F                             C
And dream of what there was before  
               
Chorus:                              
 Dm           Bb 
Promises, my promises   
             Gm                 C
They take me all the way to extreme 
   Dm          Bb                 
My California promises   
               Gm               C
They locked me up inside of a dream 
                
Verse3:              
Dm               C                  
I see the shadows on a strip   
Dm                     C
They come and stay for good   
Dm                       C
Sleepwalking grace with broken bones   
Dm              Bb           C
They've come to conquer Hollywood   
                
Verse4:
                
Bb                       F
They fly at night to the candle light   
Bb                                F
They burn their wings and feel no pain   
Bb   
The part that once you got   
F                           C
You must go on and keep on playing  
                
Chorus(repeat)- 2 times!

Bridge:               
 D Bb                 C  (Ab) 
Stare, staring in the sky   
Bb               C
Trying to catch a sight of angels flying   
See the sky with angels flying)   
 D Bb                 C  (Ab)
Stare, staring in the sky   
  Bb                   C
I just see the eyes that are never crying

Chorus(repeat)-2 times!

(Gm-Bb-F)-END!!!
