[Intro]
F#m E F#m E F#m

[Verse 1]
C#
It's so dry here
C#
One spark and the whole place could go up

A G#

C#
I think I'll stop and get a drink here
C#                                                         A
Something like the picture on the poster I saw a few miles back
                 G#
A green can on a nest of ice
         Bbm           F#        C#
Like the egg of some Antarctic bird

[Chorus]
         F#m
And I've seen this town in a dream
                E
I was running away
      F#m
From something that I didn't want to see
                   E
It was a day like today
              Bm
I watched the sky melt over Highway One
    D#     D                F#m
And I fell too close to the sun

[Instrumental]
F#m E F#m E F#m

[Verse 2]
C#
Neighbour of mine
C#                                                        A
Got out of his car somewhere down country in weather like this

G#

C#
Just disappeared
C#
Left the engine running
C#
Police came to talk to his wife
                       A
I watched them from my window
                    G#
She was shaking her head
                                  Bbm       F#      C#
The cops were standing with their big hands hanging down

[Chorus]
         F#m
And I've seen this town in a dream
              E
I was running away
     F#m
From something that I didn't want to see
                  E
It was a day like today
              Bm
I watched the sky melt over Highway One
    D#     D
And I fell too close to the sun

[Bridge]
F#m
Who's that yonder dressed in white?
 A
(An old man kneeling on the bowling green, shiny with gin and brilliantine)
F#m
He might as well have stepped from a satellite
 A                               C#
(Looks at me and gets up slowly, smiles and waves as if he knows me)

[Chorus]
         F#m
And I've seen this town in a dream
              E
I was running away
     F#m
From something that I didn't want to see
                  E
It was a day like today
              Bm
I watched the sky melt over Highway One
    D#     D
And I fell too close to the sun

[Outro]
