Intro
[A] [Asus4]

[A] [Dsus2]
Verse
I was [A]trying to swim through an [Dsus2]ocean of [A]rain
I was [C#m]hoping to see [D]California again
All these [E]memories run [Dsus2]through me like [C#m]blood in my veins
In the [Bm]quiet that covers the night like a [C#m]blanket, I [D]dream
Verse
I see [A]mountains that stretch from [Dsus2]Manhattan to [A]Mars
And I [C#m]followed my comet down [D]out of these stars
Once more, [E]crossing [Dsus2]America west in [C#m]my car
I am [Bm]friendless, endlessly [C#m]resentful, bereft, and I've [D]been
[D]Trying to be what you [E]need
Chrous
I may [A]carve out this sentence on the [D]white of my bones
And I could [A]squeeze me a river right [D]out of this stone
I may [A]leave you a lot, but I won't [D]leave you alone
'Cause these [Bm]words are the essence of me
I send 'em with [D]love, from A to [A][D]Z[D][A]
Verse
[A]Colorado collapses and [Dsus2]Kansas [A]secedes
From the [C#m]dreaming of millions who [D]want to believe
In the [E]junk that they [Dsus2]wished for, but [C#m]never received
All the [Bm]gifts of a Christmas [C#m]returning to sender [D]unseen
I [D]guess they aren't what you [E]need
Chrous
I may [A]carve out this sentence on the [D]white of my bones
And I could [A]squeeze me a river right [D]out of this stone
I may [A]leave you a lot, but I won't [D]leave you alone
What you [Bm]see is just pieces of me
But I send 'em with [D]love, from A to Z
Break
[A7] [D] [A] [D]
[A] [D] [A] [D]
Verse
[A]So we left for the coast, and I [Dsus2]wrote down this [A]line
So I'll [C#m]stay in your thoughts when I'm [D]out of my mind
Curtis, [E]blow me your [Dsus2]trumpet, Chris, [C#m]show me a sign
Full of hope for the [Bm]fatherless children, now [C#m]fathering children [D]unseen
Verse
If you [A]come for the memories, I'll [Dsus2]leave you this [A]song
Sing it [C#m]all your tomorrows, [D]forever and ever, and on
If the [E]meaning [Dsus2]escapes you, the [C#m]melody will roll on
In the [Bm]ember glow of one British [C#m]cigarette
And the [Bm]downpour that cannot [C#m]extinguish it
I'd run [Bm]headlong into the [C#m]darkness, if that's what you [D]need
[D]Because you were everything I [E]needed
Chrous
I may [A]carve out this sentence on the [D]white of my bones
And I could [A]squeeze me a river right [D]out of this stone
I may [A]leave you a lot, but I won't [D]leave you alone
If I could [Bm]be who I wanted to be
I send it with [D]love, from A to [A][D]Z[D][A]
Chrous
I may [A]carve out this sentence on the [D]white of my bones
And I could [A]squeeze me a river right [D]out of this stone
I may [A]leave you again, but I won't [D]leave you alone
If this [Bm]dream is a memory retrieve
I send 'em with [D]love, from A to Z
