C G F G

I wasn't too far from the shore when I wandered into the blue.

C G F G

My God, it was California like a beat up Chevrolet view.

You could hear all the poetry as the music began to play.

So I looked up at the sunset on that beautiful picturesque day.

[Verse]

C G F G

Now my feelings pour through like a cell that blooms in tune.

And backwards love can only explain or get us through each moon.

C G F G

Mountain top to mountain top, science can only explain.

C G F G

How music can be the therapy that will get us through each day

[Chorus]
