Capo 3rd Fret
G
when I sailed into the dark side of life
Dm
I failed to look back
C
at all those tangled memories
G
that went by so fast
and I think you’d understand if I told you
that I can’t last
frozen in these foolish tears
and fragments of our past
Chorus
Dm C G
I think it’s hard to truly be alone
just when you think you’ve found it you start to back away
I think it’s hard to truly love someone
Just when you think you think you’ve found them,
they have to go away
When I got to the edge of madness, I was so taken aback
at all the circles in my life that kept coming back
cause the memory of your voice was my song and I sang everyday
but the notes are burning out and I know that you can’t stay
Now that the years have passed and I’m older
I wish you could see
all the love you left behind in your friend’s memories
and we still get together once in a while
and think about the good times
and share laughter and a smile

I’ve seen enough to build 1000 dreams
I’ve seen enough to watch them crash
I’ve seen the pavement cracking at the seams
I’ve seen the highway turn to ash
and now you ask me in my vision clear
why I can’t see how we get past
the overwhelming struggle and the fear
I haven’t seen enough to act
I’ve seen a vision of a holy place
where everyone is always saved
and in my vision of this holy place
god doesn’t have a name
and now you ask me in my vision clear
how I think we’re supposed to act
well let me tell you the answer dear
treat it like it’s your last
I’ve seen enough to turn away from this
when i really should turn back
But I don’t feel like putting in
without a shirt on my back
and now you ask me in my vision clear
why I can’t see how we get past?
to end the fighting and the fear
love in a home that’s burning fast

I saw a one armed man rowing for the shore
he wasn’t getting very far
broke his foot on ice and he mixed it up
and offered me a fat cigar
he said one more trick
and I’ll show you a few
but that’s all I ever heard him say
and then the sky opened up and my face went numb
and my fingers turned to clay
and I’ll I ever really wanted
was to be
was to be
with you
I saw a burnt out fish swimming
for the light cause she’d had enough with being tanked
she slipped quietly out into the night and never bothered to say thanks
and all my dreams pile up like a broken wreck
or a bottle on the shore
misty memories of a childhood lost that never was before

Freedom

You know I’m with you
I’m always there
like a dog on a leash
a child of your despair
I’m always waiting
upon your call
don’t you worry bout me
I got no life at all
but don’t you see?
there’s a life without me
don’t hesitate
until it’s too late
because I’m hurting
and I know you are too
Cause freedom for me
Is freedom from you
You know I wanted
the best in life for you
I hoped you wanted
the same for me too
But now that I’m older
I see how blind we can be
because what’s healthy for you
isn’t healthy for me
but don’t you see?
there’s a life without me
don’t hesitate
until it’s too late
because I’m hurting
and I know you are too
Cause freedom for me
Is freedom from you
So now I stand here
Beside my car
I know I’m going
But I don’t know how far
You know I’m with you
I’m always there
But love from afar
is better than love that’s never there
but don’t you see?
there’s a life without me
don’t hesitate
until it’s too late
because I’m hurting
and I know you are too
Cause freedom for me
Is freedom from you

Verse 1
Midnight on the bridge
and the wind came whipping in
and blew your hair in your eyes
I’ve been spending all my time
drinking too much wine and getting high
Lately it’s been tough
but that’s not quite enough
to keep me down
I swallow all my pride and
lay down my disguise
to be here now
Chorus
and I’ve been sleeping on the beach
keeping out of reach
There’s no place I’d rather be
Lights of passing cars
fade into the stars
There’s nothing I’d rather see
Summer Dream x2
Verse II
Somewhere down the road
we broke down
and got towed
to nowhere
checking out the maps
I tried to make you laugh
about nothing
Caught in sudden rain
we took the midnight train
to nowhere
and when the dawn had come
we smiled at the sun
and had no cares
Chorus II
Cause we’ve been
Sleeping on the beach
keeping out of reach
there’s no place I’d rather be
sink into your eyes
float off with the tide
there’s nothing I’d rather see
Summer Dream x2
