[Verse]
G
I spent a week drinking the sunlight of Winnetka, California
Where they understand the weight of human hearts
[Chorus]
       C                  D                G               Em
And the truth is I’ve been dreaming of some tired tranquil place
          C                 D                 G
Where the weather won’t get trapped inside my bones
       C                D                  G           Em
And if all the years of searching find one sympathetic face
          C          D                             G
Then it's there I'll plant these seeds and make my home
[Verse]
G
I spent a day dreaming of dying in Mesa, Arizona
Where all the green of life had turned to ash
[Chorus]
      C                 D               G            Em
And I wouldn’t have to bring up my so badly broken heart
    C                  D              G
And all those months I just wanted to sleep
           C                   D         G                Em
And though spring, it did come slowly; I guess it did its part
             C          D            G
My heart has thawed and continues to beat
[Verse]
G
And I visited my brother on the outskirts of Olympia
Where the forest and the water become one
That perfect, peaceful street that we came from
      C                D                   G              Em
And I know he heard me strumming all those sad and simple chords
     C             D            G
As I sat inside my room so long ago
       C          D          G                                    Em
And it hurts that he’s still shaking from those secrets that were told
     C                 D                        G
By a car closed up too tight and a heart turned cold
And I went to San Diego, and the birthplace of the summer
I guess that something’s gotta happen soon
        C                 D              G             Em
Cause I know I can’t keep living in this dead or dying dream
     C                D                    G
As I walked along the beach and drank with her
          C        D              G            Em
I thought about my true love, the one I really need
     C                 D                    G
With eyes that burn so bright, they make me pure
[Outro]
G
They make me pure, they make me pure
  C       D       G
I long to be with you
G
They make me pure, they make me pure
      C       D/A     G
