verse 1 
D 
Bright blue hydrangeas 
G                 D 
Lost in the weeds 
                                         G 
Bus stops and barbed wire on the way to stare 
                                       Em 
At the heart of the earth from the Poas peak 
                                         G       Em 
Just like the ones that we grew back in Jersey 
                                     G 
Hung upside down, drying out for the wedding 


verse 2 
D                                               G 
There's a man with his head in his hands on the sidewalk 
D                                           G 
His wife's there behind him just off of the street 
D                                         G        D 
She scratches his back as he sobs on the asphalt 
                                 G 
And what strikes me most is the symmetry 
                             Em 
How they're framed just like you and me 
                                    G 
When the light from the hospital's eastern wing 
        Em                                               G 
Tangles up in your hair and the sadness it pooled in my heart 
                   G  
Starts emptying slowly 

 
    D  C#m  Bm        A          G 
Well I saw you last night in my dream 
                D   C#m  Bm    A                G      D 
And there were hydrangeas where your face should be 



verse 3 
                                       G           D 
The redwoods feel lonely and lunar and distant 
                                                  G     D 
The sun comes in fragments through breaks in the trees 
                                            G 
And I feel further from home than I've ever been 
                                                   G 
These thin lines of light across space tether you to me 
                 Em                                 G 
They pull in my memories, back to our apartment on 2nd Street 
         Em                                                       G 
Through the South-facing window the light catches lengths of your hair 

Like a path that you left me 


     D  C#m  Bm      A           G 
Well I saw you last night in my dream 
                D  C#m    Bm       A          G 
But there were azaleas where your face should be 



Bridge 
           D/F#            Em 
Pieces of us in the morning sun 
                       G 
Sleeping bags under the 101 
        D/F#       Em 
She takes off his glasses and she falls asleep again 
                                          G 
They don't got much but goddamn they got love 



    D  C#m  Bm       A           G     G 
Well I saw you last night in my dream 
         D    C#m    Bm           A                   G 
I'm gonna marry you underneath driftwood from Crescent City
