Verse:
F               G           F              G
Run away to the seashore it doesn't matter anymore
F              G       F  G
Doesn't matter anymore
F                G        F                G
Words dry up and fly away with the passing of the days
F              G            F     G
Eventually you just let the stone fall

Chorus:
  C              Am                 F               G
I dreamed that I saw you you were down at the corner store
  C                      Am                 F           G
You were looking through magazines and you flew out the door
  C                  Am             F             G
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
  C         Am                    F      G    
      Am   F  G
Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past
      C      Am   F  G
Only in the past

Verse:
F                  G          F              G
My palms are not open they're closed they're closed
F                  G          F              G
My palms are not open they're closed they're closed

(Chorus)

C                  Am      F           G
Colours streak the sky we laugh and we cry
       C            Am                 F     G
And we dance in the cool grass with the fireflies
       C            Am         F      G
And we dance in the cool grass sunset birds
C           Am    F            G
Sweet sweet music swallows our words
C       Am           F         G
You set sail and you left this town
C         Am                      F       G
Run away, run away, you're so far from me now
       C       Am   F  G
So far from me now

(Chorus)
