E
I don't know where to begin
There's too many things that I can't remember
As I disappeared like a trend
In the hum of the 5 in the early morning

And now I'm taking my time
Up through Coalinga, through the valley
This highway lived in my mind
It takes me back to the place that made me

Chorus:
G#m            A
Was I in your way
E
When the cameras turned to face you?
G#m          A
No room in frame
      E
For two

You cannot outrun a ghost
Speeding southbound lanes with abandon
It catches you on the coast
Or on the cliffs of the palisades,
you killed the engine

And then it hovers above
Reeling bodies failing to discover
The thing they once knew was love
Raising their voices to convince one another

Chorus

C#m         A
How can I stay
E
In the sun
When the rain flows
C#m             A
All through my veins
      F#m A
It's true
        C#m             B                A
And I guess it's not a failure we could help
          C#m                B                  F#m
And we'll both go on to get lonely with someone else
A            E
With someone else

Chorus

How can I stay
In the sun, when the rain flows
All through my veins?
It's true
And I guess it's not a failure we could help
And we will both go on to get
lonely with someone else
