Intro:  D Bm G A (2X)

  D                               Bm
She's the kind of girl that tends to brown
   G                          A
freckles on her elbows and her knees
  D                               Bm
And I'm the boy that passes through these towns
   G                          A
I leave before we find out what it means

           G                   A
I'll send a letter addressed to you
          D            A             Bm
it says you're my California brown and blue
         G                   A
Another chorus line gives into waves
          D
it fades away 

  D                            Bm
So I push through another hotel door
   G                                    A
and I pull back the bed sheets till they break
    D                             Bm
and I sleep so hard I don't even dream
  G                             A
weightless in the arms of Golden Gate

          G                A
The only music I want to hear
      D                   A             Bm
is the sound of the last light that disappears
   G                   A
Another songbird gives up it's wings
          D
it fades away
