As recorded by Zach Bryan (From the 2026 Album WITH HEAVEN ON TOP) [Intro] C G Em D C G Em D [Verse 1]
C                  G                   Em                     D
Driving out to California, the night I met you in this bed of mine

    C                              G                   Em                   D
The wind blowing through all those palm trees, shaking bodies, under napalm skies

    C                            G                  Em                        D
The kids and all their fucked up virtues, I know it hurts you, when the party dies
[Chorus]
                    C
Would you cross dry deserts, babe?

                      G
Would you cut through pines?

                 Em7                           D
Would you swim upriver when I'm surely on your mind?

                  C
And you're always calming me

              G
Only in these dreams

              Em7                                  D
Waking up the neighbors, screaming in these sweaty sheets
[Interlude] C G Em7 D [Verse 2]
    C                        G                 Em                      D
And I've been on the run for so long, I want a sad song that lasts all night

    C                             G                  Em                  D
The whites and blues on big, wide opens, the way I'm coping with passing time
[Chorus]
                    C
Would you cross dry deserts, babe?

                      G
Would you cut through pines?

                 Em7                           D
Would you swim upriver when I'm surely on your mind?

                  C
And you're always calming me

              G
Only in these dreams

              Em7                                  D
Waking up the neighbors, screaming in these sweaty sheets
[Interlude] C G Em7 D [Guitar Solo] Am7 C G D Am7 C G D Am7 C G D Am7 C G [Out-Chorus]
                    C
Would you cross dry deserts, babe?

                      G
Would you cut through pines?

                 Em7                           D
Would you swim upriver when I'm surely on your mind?

                  C
And you're always calming me

              G
Only in these dreams

              Em7                                  D
Waking up the neighbors, screaming in these sweaty sheets
