[Intro]
E C# B A
[Verse 1]
I took a trip up the Ewest coast, LAX to C#SFO
Was searching for a  Btemp so low, And a summer hAigh
The Sun  swayed  and Eset slow, Made waves with some fC#riends I know
Got  lost  in  the  eBbb and flow, Of the drifting tide (And I)
[Chorus]
AI didn't ever want to Ecome down
BFrom that west coast rC#ush and summer Ahigh
And easy, Epeaceful sense of tBime     (I felt so alive)
ANow I'm alone when I'm bEack home
BIt's cold and oC#ld, But in my mAind
EI, I am, BMiles and miles away
[Break]
E C# B A
[Verse 2]
Pretty girls on tEwo wheels, Dolores Heights and a lC#aid back feel
We sat and drank for a Bwhile until, The city came aAlive
We were sEmoking with strangers, We were dC#ancing with the lights on
I  was  sBinging to "The Angels”, See that's my favorite X song
[Chorus]
AI didn't ever want to Ecome down
BFrom that west coast rC#ush and summer Ahigh
And easy, Epeaceful sense of tBime     (I felt so alive)

[Intro]

E C# B A

[Verse 1]

E C#

I took a trip up the west coast, LAX to SFO

B A

Was searching for a temp so low, And a summer high

E C#

The Sun swayed and set slow, Made waves with some friends I know

Got lost in the ebb and flow, Of the drifting tide (And I)

[Chorus]

A E

I didn't ever want to come down

B C# A

From that west coast rush and summer high

E B

And easy, peaceful sense of time (I felt so alive)

A E

Now I'm alone when I'm back home

B C# A

It's cold and old, But in my mind

E B

I, I am, Miles and miles away

[Break]

E C# B A

[Verse 2]

E C#

Pretty girls on two wheels, Dolores Heights and a laid back feel

B A

We sat and drank for a while until, The city came alive

E C#

We were smoking with strangers, We were dancing with the lights on

I was singing to "The Angels”, See that's my favorite X song

[Chorus]

A E

I didn't ever want to come down

B C# A

From that west coast rush and summer high

E B

And easy, peaceful sense of time (I felt so alive)

A E

Now I'm alone when I'm back home

B C# A

It's cold and old, But in my mind

E B

I, I am, Miles and miles away

[Solo]

A E B C#

A E B

[Post-Solo]

A E

Miles away, In my mind I'm miles

B C# A E B

and miles away, in my mind i’m miles away

[Bridge]

C# A B

When the buzz ain't like it was, Well then it's time for a change

C# A B

Just a subtle change

C# A B

A tongue full of only tomorrow’s, Will never quench your thirst for today

C# A B

So what do you say we take a trip miles away

C# A B C#

Just take a trip, just a little trip, we’ll take a trip miles away

A B

Just take a trip, just a little trip, we’ll take a trip miles away

[Chorus]

A E

I didn't ever want to come down

B C# A

From that west coast rush and summer high

E B

And easy, peaceful sense of time (I felt so alive)

A E

At the moment any place I go

B C# A

Is beautiful, But in my mind

E B

I, I am, Miles and miles away

[Outro]

A E

In my mind I'm miles

B C# A E B A E

(Quick change)

and miles away, in my mind i’m miles away
