_ _ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [D#m] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
[E] [C#] I left the east side for a west coast [D#m] beauty, a girl who burned my thoughts [F#m] like [D#m] kisses.
She was down by street decree.
She swore [C#] she'd do my best [F#] years on me.
[C#] I painted lips on a live eye beauty, [D#m] a tangerine girl with tambourine eyes.
Her face was my favorite magazine.
Her body was [C#] my favorite [D#m] book to read.
They say that [F#] all poets [C#] must [D#m] have an [C#] unrequited love.
As [F#] all lovers [C#] must [D#m] have thought provoking [F#] fears.
But holding on to [C#] you means letting go of [F#] pain.
Means letting go of [C#] tears.
Means letting [F#] go of rain.
Means letting [D#m] go of _ [Fm] what's not _ [F#] real.
Holding [C#] on to you.
[G#] _ [E] _ [C#] I left the west side for a seaside baby, [D#m] a chamomile smile that pouts on cue.
For every moment I breathe her sigh, her bosom [C#] contains my [F#] sweet alibi.
[C#] In an emotional mist, she breathes it forth [D#m] and breathes it out.
It's garden flowers, what me of all the tough talking boys.
I guess you heard [C#] my heart beat through [F#] the noise.
They say that all poets must [C#] have [D#m] an unrequited [C#] love.
[F#] [C#] Yes, they do.
As [F#] all lovers must [D#m] have thought provoking [F#] fears.
But holding on [C#] to you means letting go [F#] of pain.
Means letting go of [C#] tears.
Means letting go [F#] of rain.
_ Holding on [C#] to you means letting [F#] sorrows heal.
Means letting go [D#m] of [Fm] what's not [F#] real.
Holding [C#] on to [G#] you. [B] Yeah!

[C#] Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas.
[D#m] Goodbye Picasso, hello [C#] Dolly.
[D#m] The soil is fertile where footsteps ride.
