Tuning: Standard

Note: Most of the chords in the chorus should be played a split second after the

(Intro: Bm F#m A E )


Verse I:
F#m               A
    Faster than a plane
                E
Flies over your head
                Bm                 F#m             D
Faster than the autumn leaves turn snow under your sled
                A                 E
I'm suddenly alive, as California skies
              Bm                      F#m          D
Melt away the thoughts that have been frozen in my mind



Chorus:
        F#m              A
Are you running from the pain?
      E
I Am,
             E7                 D
I hope that love will save the day 
         F#m             A
How much longer will you wait?
             E                D
I don't know,   as long as it takes
            F#m              A
And what if everything’s the same?
             E
I don’t know
            E7                 D
I hope that love will save the day


( D    F#m    E    C# )


Verse II:
F#m                 A
    Faster than her words 
                  E
Get tangled up in lies
                Bm                F#m           D
Faster than the wind can blow her hair over her eyes
                A                E
I'm suddenly alive as California skies
              Bm                      F#m          D
Melt away the thoughts that have been frozen in my mind



Chorus II:
        F#m              A
Are you running from the pain?
      E
I may, 
            E7                 D
I hope that love will save the day
         F#m             A
How much longer will you wait?
             E       E7         D
I don't know,     as long as it takes
            F#m              A
And what if everything’s the same?
        E               E7                 D
Oh well,    
I hope that love will save the day


Instrumental: 
( D     F#m     E       C#      D )
( F#m   A   E   D   F#m   A   E   C# )


D               F#m                A
   And what if everything’s the same?
        E                   E7
I don’t care, I hope that love will 
           D
save the day

( D      F#m      E      C# )

Verse I:
F#m               A
    Faster than a plane
             E
Flies on overhead
                Bm                 F#m             D
Faster than the autumn leaves turn snow under your sled
               A
I'm suddenly alive,
              E 
As California skies
              Bm                      F#m          D
Melt away the thoughts that have Been frozen in my mind
