G#mMy real eBstate
F#My life is dull
And G#mdried up like the sound
A voice makes wBhen the F#heart grows cold
And its going that way
G#mI think IB’ll move out of state
SomewherF#e far from Seattle city lights
They burn my eyes
G#mCalifornia sounds nBice but F#California's a lie
Maybe I'm out of luck or maybe I'm just G#mblind
F#Oh, this tG#mimeF#  
ERain oBn my hopes
Rain G#mon my soul
Rain on eF#verythinEg that I know
It Bfeels so ludicrous
The pursuit of this dG#mream
We thought we'd Bbe alEong ago
G#mMy life is lBike a rolling rF#iver
So muddG#my and absurd
And alBthough I migF#ht be mistaken
I know tG#mhat I’ll be heard
ABnd I find the second I F#try to pull away
I'm thrown bG#mack in line
F#Oh, this tG#mimeF#  
ERain oBn my hopes
Rain G#mon my soul
Rain on eF#verythinEg that I know
It Bfeels so ludicrous
The pursuit of this dG#mream
We thought we'd Bbe alEong ago
EAnd we are all loBoking for the G#msame thing. the F#same thing
ESeattle is caBlling me back G#mhome, back F#home
ERain oBn my hopes
Rain G#mon my soul
Rain on eF#verythinEg that I know
It Bfeels so ludicrous
The pursuit of this dG#mream
We thought we'd Bbe alEong ago
I thought all the chords/tabs were pretty off, so I did it myself, and here you go.  It
along with the track if you sort of do the bass part by only hitting the lowest 2 or 3
of the chord for the verses if you'd like, but otherwise it's all one strum for the 
on each chord change and it's basically up-down strumming for the rest of the song.
