[C#]  I had a dream last night we

And [C#]please don't tell
me that [F#]I am dreaming
When [Bbm]all I ever [Ab]wanted was to
[F#]dream another sunset with you
If [C#]I roll over [F#]When it's over
I'll [Bbm]take this Cali [Ab]sunrise with me
And [F#]wake up with the fondest memories

{section: Verse 2}
[C#]  We made love by the ocean
[Ab]  As the waves crashed around you
[F#]  The sunset's never were so bright
[F#]  And the skies never so blue
[C#]  You opened up into my arms
[Ab]  And we laughed as I held you
[F#]  I'll never go back to Georgia
[F#]  Not at least 'till I have to

and you [Bm]dropped the note
and we changed key
you [G]changed yourself

i [D]really didn't see us

out unrehearsed
and you s[D]miled the
whole way through it
i guess [A]maybe that's
what's worse

In every single [Bm]way
And everything I would [A]give
Is everything you couldn't [D]take
Cause nothing feels like [A]home
You’re a thousand miles a[Bm]way
And the hardest part of [A]living
Is just taking breaths to s[G]tay
Cause I know I'm good for [A]something
I just [F#]hav[Bb]en't found it [Bm]yet
And I [A]need it so...

That I'll talk to [F#m]you and I can't s[Bm]peak

Cause I dream of his lips on your [D]cheek
And I got the point that I should [G]leave you alone
But [A]we both know that I'm [F#m]not that strong
And [Bm]   I miss the lips that made me [A]fly so...

Cause, God, she [F#]missed
             (hold)
how he would kiss her

As your [C9]sympathetic whispers
they told a tale of bad goodbyes
And You s[G]wore you saw me laughing
and I swore I saw you smile
And this [C9]time we've spent together
was meant to last us quite a while
As I [Em7]take this piece of you with

[C9]Knowing that for someone you're
an angel sent to save
