Bixby Canyon Bridge Chords - Death Cab for Cutie

Verse A C Am C I descended a dusty gravel ridge Am C Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge Am C Until I eventually arrived Am At the place where your soul had died Verse B F C G F Barefoot in the shallow creek C G F I grab some stones from underneath C G F (hold an extra measure) Waiting for you to speak to me Verse A C Am C In the silence it became so very clear Am C That you had long ago disappeared Am C And I curse myself for being surprised Am That this didn't play out like it did in my mind Verse B F C G F All the way from San Francisco C G F As I chase the end of your rope C G F 'Cause I've still got miles to go Verse C F C G F I want to know my fate C G F If I keep up this way C G F Its hard to want to stay Am E Aw - a - y F C G F Then everyone you meet C G F Will all seem to be asleep C G D And you wonder if you're missing your dream F D You can't see your dream F D You can't see your dream F D F Just can't see your dream

Chorus

D G F Your dr - e - am.........
