In my dreams

                       G
I see myself hitting a baseball

                                  Am
In a green field somewhere near a freeway 

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

         C
And it's hot and

                             G
The kids keep on playing the driving game

                                Am
And they're singing the same goddamn refrain

        C                G
And the sky is a blueish grey.

C              G                     Am
And its become just like a chemical stress

               C               Am
Tracing the lines in my face for

               C                 Am
Something more beautiful than is there

            G
I've barely been gone.

   C 
In my dreams

                               G           
I see you at the foot of some mountains.

                                  Am
And we're taking some pictures or something

         C            G
And we'd better hurry up

        C
And it's late and

                                   G
The sun keeps on shooting through pine trees

                                     Am
And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans

         C            G
And we'd better hurry up

C              G                     Am
And its become just like a terrible mess

               C               Am
Tracing the lines in my face for

               C                 Am
Something more beautiful than is there

                     G
The crowds keep me coming back, cheering.

   C  G  Am  C  G
In my dreams

                       G
I see you asleep on a twin bed

                           Am
The covers pulled up over your head

      C         G
Am I asleep or awake?

       C
And it's morning

                               G
And the captain is playing the radio

                                  Am
And hes just put the paint on his new boat

      C         G
Am I asleep or awake?

        C                           G 
And it just feels good when you're waking up

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

        C                           G 
And it just feels good when you're coming home

        C                           G 
And it just feels good when it's waking up

C               G                    Am
And I've become just like a chemical stress

             C               Am         
Tracing the lines of my face for

                C                Am
Something more beautiful than is there

             G
I've barely been gone

C             G         Am
and I'm not a failure I swear

                 C                 Am
I wish you could see it from over there

           C                     Am
I've got a lot over here without you

            G
I've barely been gone

Am
gone
