Portland

Intro: E A E A E A E A 

        E                    A 
Left without goodbye to the city 
           E                 A 
To find a quiet place of our own 
               B    
A little house on the hill 
             A 
Yeah, I can see you still 
  

            E            A 
Your golden hair and moonlight 
      E           A 
Forty California stars 
                         B  
The dream you'd come and never came 
                         A 
It seems our dreams were not the same 


                 E             Ab 
So where are you running to? 
                    A        B 
And where have you been, my love? 
               E                      Ab           A         B 
Portland is a long, long way from the way we were before 
                  E              Ab  
It's hard to get close to you 
                  A       B 
But God knows I tried my luck 
             E                     Ab               A 
It's been a long, long year and I feel like coming home 
          B             E A E A  
But I got no place to go 


I'm looking back at the crash site 
I can see where you left your mark 
The nights seem longer now 
When the sun's not up it's down 

When it's the creature and the habit 
When you really gotta have it 
Won't be the death of me 
If you become the enemy 

                 E             Ab 
So where are you running to? 
                    A        B 
And where have you been, my love? 
               E                      Ab           A         B

          B             C                         
But I got no place to go

I'm finally waking up 
                  D  C
