F# B F# B F# B F# B……………………..
[Verse 1]
F# B F# BThere’s a lighthouse on the water, throwing light back at the shore
F# B F# BI heard you died trying to swim towards it, now you’re living on the river’s floor
F# B F# BI heard the mighty Mississippi took you out with just one punch
F# B F# B F# B F# B F# B F# BI heard you had the voice of a sweetheart, but the sweetheart was out getting drunk……………………..
F# B F# BAnd hey man, have you heard Buckley singing Hallelujah?
F# B F# BHe did what Leonard never could to it, gave it wings then away it was
F# B F# BNumber two in England, and they say you’re your daddy’s son
F# B F# BBut Jeff, if you’re anything like me, you only care about America
F# BWhere you’re always in someone’s wake
F# BOr you’re singing while you’re sinking in sand
F# BAnd the river’s still from far away
F# BBut if you touch her, she will pull you in
F# B‘Cause she’s violent and she’s stubborn
F# B F# BAnd she’s ugly but I love her, *******….
F# B *******
[Chorus]
F# B F# B When I was young, love drunk, and dreaming…
F# B F# B I’d dream of singing in some kingdom
F# B F# B And just like birds, my words would fly…
F# B F# B And as they’d take flight then so would I..
[Verse 2]
F# B F# BI feel like Valens on a Cessna, flying through the fog
F# BThere’s a lighthouse on the water
F# BThat’s not a lighthouse, that’s just Arkansas
F# B F# BYeah, the sky can lift the river, and spread it out over the farm
F# B F# BLife’s just one long day, babe, but I’ve been awake all day long
F# B F# BAnd I, one day too, plan to be king
F# B F# BPut some gloves on me, oh, and put me in the ring
F# B F# BAnd oh, just to be a fighter, big black boots strapped to my feet
F# B F# B F# B F# B F# BTo be so young but so tired, and still prettier than anything………………..
[Verse 3]
F# B F# BCaterpillar in the winter, ’til wings come in the spring
F# B F# B‘Til then, settle down in some shotgun shack where the wallpaper unlocks your dreams
F# B F# BAnd hey man, have you heard him sing with a voice like a symphony weeps?
F# BI’ve seen him staring back at the camera
F# BAnd I swear to God he looked at me
F# B F# BAnd if you wanna settle down, then you came to the right town
F# B F# BTo close your big brown eyes, and wear a coat of butterflies
F# B F# BBut if you wanna live forever, jump in deep with the mysteries sweet
F# B F# BWade into the water, close your eyes boy, and sing
[Bridge]
F# BWant a whole lot of love…
F# BWant a whole lot of love…
F# BWant a whole lot of love…
F# BWant a whole lot of love…
[Chorus]
F# B F# B When I was young, love drunk, and dreaming….
F# B F# B I’d dream of singing in some kingdom
F# B F# B And just like birds, my words would fly…
F# B F# B And as they’d take flight then so would I..
