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
