G D Am I am stuck in L.A. C G Through the week and can't get away D Em And you're alone on the pier C G In West Palm Beach on your holiday D Am Stormy night, reawake C G The stomach ache that I've acquired D Em From feeling down, things look grim C And I'm so sick of being tired Chorus: C D C Apartment lights go dark Em D C And it's depressing but what can I do? D C The midnight streets feel dead Em D G When I am so used to driving with you Brighter lights fill the nights And bluer skies reflect in your eyes As I inspect and analyze All of these dreams I don't recognize If you're still up when the ships in the port prepare to set sail Comb the beach and put those blue flowers up in your ponytail Chorus: Inside my head your voice is still resounding But what can I do? The empty rooms feel cold When I am so used to being with you Count the stars, watch the waves, absorb the summer sun and think of me When you explore hidden coves and tiny island chains throughout the sea Can you still hear my voice When I'm outside, from over the phone? For what it's worth, darling dear I wish you were here, 'cause I feel alone When you were home, we'd sing But since you've left I don't hear anything And though I feel so sad I can't believe things are really that bad Old captains and brand new cruise ships Sailing over the briny sea When I crashed my beloved desk job And swim through the debris I'll cut loose and leave this mad house Bound for the Atlantic blue I'll stroll down your tree-lined driveway And sail the ocean with you | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C D Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
