Cadd9   G
I got a way I can find you,

Cadd9        G           Fadd9                  Gadd11
Down the melody ranch, I know you're there most everyday,

       Fadd9             Gadd11
That's where you like to spend some time alone.

Cadd9     G
I need to talk to you,

Cadd9    G                 Fadd9              Gadd11
Tell you what I feel, like warm hellos in the morning mist,

    Fadd9                 Gadd11
And you're the magic that turns my heart around.

C/G                       Dadd11
Seems to me, we're really living way too fast,

C/G                       Dadd11
Oh when we should let the story of love last.

C/G                      Dadd11       Am7
Sometimes I just want to go and drift away...

    Em7             Dsus4           
And move on to some fourty mile town.

Cadd9   G
I got a way I can see you,

Cadd9    G                 Fadd9             Gadd11
Close my eyes and start to watch the ancient water flow,

       Fadd9              Gadd11         
Like a crystal dance that paupers know so well.

Cadd9          G
That's the way kings keep dreamin',

Cadd9      G                Fadd9          Gadd11
Hold their head up high and live below fourty mile skys,

Fadd9               Gadd11
The way that it can be in ocean towns

C/G                            Dadd11
Things of this world, guess we never really own;

C/G                         Dadd11
Oh that mountain falls, and then we're goin' home.

C/G                       Dadd11       Am7
We should try to make the best and get away...

    Em7               Dsus4       
And work on towards a fourty mile town.

C/G                   Dadd11
Seems to me we really need to feel love more,

C/G              Dadd11
Oh, and ordinary smile opens the door.

C/G                     Dadd11      Am7
Sometimes all I want to do is dream away...

    Em7             Dsus4
And wake up in some fourty mile town.
