June On The West Coast Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

[strike E string (*boom*) then upper G B E strings (*strum*)]

GI spent a week drinking the sunlight of Winnetka, California

Where they understand the weight of human hearts

You see, sorrow gets too heavy and joy it tends to hold you

With the fear that it eventually departs

 And theC truth is Iâ€D™ve been dreamingG of some tired tEmranquil place

 Where the Cweather wonâD€™t get trapped inGside my bones

 And if Call the years of Dsearching find one Gsympathetic Emface

 Then it's Cthere I'll Dplant these seeds and make my Ghome

GI spent a day dreaming of dying in Mesa, Arizona

Where all the green of life had turned to ash

And I felt I was on fire, with the things I could have told you

I just assumed that you eventually would ask

 And I Cwouldn’t hDave to bring up Gmy so badly bEmroken heart

 And Call those months I Djust wanted to Gsleep

 And though Cspring, it did come Dslowly; I Gguess it did its Empart

 My heart has Cthawed and Dcontinues to Gbeat

GAnd I visited my brother on the outskirts of Olympia

Where the forest and the water become one

And we talked about our childhood

Like a dream we were convinced of

That perfect, peaceful street that we came from

 And I Cknow he heard me Dstrumming all those Gsad and simple Emchords

 As I Csat inside my Droom so long Gago

 And it Churts that Dhe’Gs still shaking from those secrets thEmat were told

 By a Ccar closed up too Dtight and a heart turned Gcold

[MUTE ALL STINGS]

And I went to San Diego, and the birthplace of the summer

And watched the ocean dance under the moon

There was a girl I knew there, one more potential lover

I guess that something’s gotta happen soon

 Cause I Cknow I canâ€D™t keep living Gin this dead oEmr dying dream

 As I Cwalked along the Dbeach and drank with Gher

 I thought Cabout my Dtrue love, the Gone I really Emneed

 With Ceyes that burn so Dbright, they make me Gpure

GThey make me pure, they make me pure

 I Clong to Dbe with Gyou

GThey make me pure, they make me pure

 And I Clong to D/Abe with Gyou
