E5       A5       E5       B5 
 
            E5                                 A5 
It's been a long time since I watched these lights alone 
       E5                          A5 
I look around my life tonight and you are gone 
             E5                                 A5 
i might have done something to keep you if I'd known 
E5                     B5 
  How unhappy you'd become 
 

           E5 
Well I was dreaming of you 
        A5 
With my heart in your hands 
          E5 
And I was following through 
        C#5      B5 
With my beautiful plans 
E5       C#5  B5 
 
E5             A5                       E5 
Yeah, now I'm rolling down this canyon drive 
          C#5            B5 
With your laughter in my head 
E5                       A5                E5 
Gonna have to block it out somehow to survive 
                      B5      (tacet) 
'cuz those dreams are dead 
             E5          A5         E5         A5 
But I'm alive 
 

          E5                               A5 
I want to go where I will never hear your name 
          E5                     A5 
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again 
      E5                A5 
And I know I've been insane 
E5                            B5 
When I think of the places I could've been 
 

          E5 
But I was dreaming of you 
        A5 
With my heart in your hands 
          E5 
And I was following through 
        C#5      B5 
With my beautiful plans 
E5       C#5   B5

E5       E5 

                     A5 
Standing here by the highway side 
               E5 
Watching these trucks blow by 
               C#5 
Inches from my face 
      B5                                 E5 
Yeah, thinking about the time I've wasted 

(Dreaming of you) 
                              A5 
And the pleasure we once tasted 

(Dreaming of you) 
                               E5 
Looking up and down this road 

(Following through) 
          C#5      B5 
I've been here before 

(Following through) 
         C#5   B5 
Can't be here no more 

(Dreaming of you) 
C#5               B5 
(Dreaming of you) 
 

E5             A5                            E5 
Yeah, now I'm rolling down this California five 
          C#5            B5 
With your laughter in my head 
E5                       A5                E5 
Gonna have to block it out somehow to survive 
                        B5      (tacet) 
'cuz those dreams are dead 
             E5          A5         E5         A5 
But I'm alive 
 

E5                                       A5 
Look at the way I believed in you and loved you all these years 
E5                                           A5 
Now you could fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears 
    E5                                 A5 
You told me what was in your heart but  baby you lied 
      E5                             A5 
And I thought that it would kill me,   but I'm alive!
