[Verse]
D#m
I watched the sun come up over LAX
B
I watched the hills pour east through the plains of Texas
G#m B
I cleansed myself, and wiped my memory
D#m
I watched the coast pull close in a western bay
B
I saw the desert sky in the pouring rain
G#m B
So I washed myself, and wished you'd do the same
[Instrumental]
F# B D#m B
[Chorus]
F# B
Cuz I'm not gonna turn around and tell you "oh, now I miss you"
D#m B
And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate
[Verse]
D#m
I watched the moon stand up to the Rio Grande
B
I watched myself rise up from beneath the sand
G#m B
And I knew, that I was here to stay
D#m B
Maybe my head is clouding up my brain
G#m B
But I think it's for the best for you to be on your way
[Chorus]
F# B
Cuz I'm not gonna turn around and tell you "oh, now I miss you"
D#m B
And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate
F# B
Oh I’m never going to lie and say without you here it’s just not the same
D#m B
‘Cause your love has been built on skin and bone, was meant to see
[Middle]
C# B
Meant to fade
F# B D#m B
[Chorus/Outro]
F# B
‘Cause you’re not gonna turn around and tell me “Oh now I miss you babe.”
D#m B
And you’re never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate
F# B
Oh I’m never going to lie and say without you here it’s just not the same
D#m B
‘Cause your love has been built on skin and bone, was meant to see, meant to see
F# B
Oh I’m not gonna turn around and tell you “Oh now I miss you babe”.
D#m B
And you’re never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate
F# B
Oh I’m never going to lie and say without you here it’s just not the same
D#m B
‘Cause your love has been built on skin and bone, was meant to see.
