Standard (EADGBE)

In my dreams

I see myself hitting a baseball

In a green field somewhere near a freeway

I'm all tan and smiling and running from 3rd base

And it's hot and

The kids keep on playing the driving game

And they're singing the same goddamn refrain

And the sky is a blueish grey.

And its become just like a chemical stress

Tracing the lines in my face for

Something more beautiful than is there

I've barely been gone.

In my dreams

I see you at the foot of some mountains.

And we're taking some pictures or something

And we'd better hurry up

And it's late and

The sun keeps on shooting through pine trees

And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans

And we'd better hurry up

And its become just like a terrible mess

Tracing the lines in my face for

Something more beautiful than is there

The crowds keep me coming back, cheering.

In my dreams

I see you asleep on a twin bed

The covers pulled up over your head

Am I asleep or awake?

And it's morning

And the captain is playing the radio

And hes just put the paint on his new boat

Am I asleep or awake?

And it just feels good when you're waking up

And it just feels good when you're next to me

And it just feels good when you're coming home

And it just feels good when it's waking up

And I've become just like a chemical stress

Tracing the lines of my face for

Something more beautiful than is there

I've barely been gone

and I'm not a failure I swear

I wish you could see it from over there

I've got a lot over here without you

I've barely been gone

gone
