C5/G               G                   Em                     D5/A
Driving out to California, the night I met you in this bed of mine

    C5/G                           G                   Em                   D5/A
The wind blowing through all those palm trees, shaking bodies, under napalm skies

    C5/G                         G                  Em                        D5/A
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?

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

                  C
And you're always calming me

              G
Only in these dreams

              Em                                   D
Waking up the neighbors, screaming in these sweaty sheets
[Interlude] C5/G G Em D5/A [Verse 2]
    C5/G                     G                 Em                      D5/A
And I've been on the run for so long, I want a sad song that lasts all night

    C5/G                          G                  Em                  D5/A
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?

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

                  C
And you're always calming me

              G
Only in these dreams

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

                      G
Would you cut through pines?

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

And you're always calming me
