intro riff: (Bm - D - E)4

Bm________D______E
Bright sunny day -- in UCLA
Both of us there -- you saw me stare
I was in sandals -- shorts and a cowboy hat
You wore a blouse -- with a white button that

F#m_______G___E
Kept coming open -- we both did laugh
I took you for a falafel -- we walked a concrete path

D____________G__________E
You were from Mexico -- and I was from the wild
Together we were happy -- like a father and a child

G_______A_______G_______A
I put you on the bus -- as it began to rain
Loaning you my Levi coat -- I knew I'd see you soon again

Bm________D________E
Grapes in the mansion -- making love on the floor
Smoking pot and kiss all day -- Heaven was there and so much more

F#m__G______E
No, it wasn't a dream
No, it wasn't a dream

D_______________G__________E
Things went wrong all around us -- no place to stay
Eviction and arrested -- the world got in our way

G_____A_____G_____A
We got married, after Christmas day

G_______________A___________E
Packed our bags for Hawaii, with just enough for a one week stay

Bm________D__________E
We returned, I had no job -- and our clothes waere in a box
Time together wasn't good -- we yelled we didn't talk
I wrote a movie -- you wrote me off for good
What we had both expected -- wasn't understood

F#m__G______E
No, it wasn't a dream
No, it wasn't a dream

D____G_______________E
Prison pulled me in -- as a Union Carpenter
In my cage every day -- you felt secure

G_______A________G________A
Marriage counselors -- couldn't make it right

G__________A_____________E
We went our separate ways to tired to even fight

Bm___D_______E
Now I see you again
You feel the same as you did then
Back on the floor and in the shower
What seemed like minutes, has been hours

F#m__G______E
No, it wasn't a dream
No, it wasn't a dream

D_______G______________E
You smile with a tear -- you say, "I'm happy, but I'm sad."
We shared a wild year. Was it the best we could've had?

G_______A____________G_________________A
I walk you to your car -- I love you and I'm your friend

G____________A______________E
Though we may be divorced -- our love will have no end
