Ventura

Capo 2nd Fret

Intro:  F

Verse I:
F7M                             C
Decided I'm gonna make myself a little something to eat
Dm                                   G
Get a can down off the shelf, maybe a little something sweet
F7M                     C
Haven't spoken to no one, haven't been in the mood
Dm                                       G
Pour some soup, get a spoon and, stir it up real good.
F7M                                  C
Go out with a friend, maybe a little music might help
Dm                                G
But I can't pretend,  I wish I was somewhere else.

Chorus:
                  F                           C
I wanna watch the ocean bend the edges of the sun, then
           Dm                          G
I wanna get swallowed up in an ocean of love.

Verse II:
F7M                 C
Put on my coat, go out into the street
Dm                                G
Get a lump in my throat, and look down at my feet
F7M                               C
Take the long way home, so I can ride around
Dm                         G
Put Neil Young on and turn up the sound.
F7M                    C
Drive up the coastline, maybe to Ventura
Dm                          G
Watch the waves make signs out on the water.

(Chorus)

Break:  F7M  C  Dm  G

Verse III:
F7M                  C
Stand in the shower, clean this dirty mess
Dm                         G
Give me back my power, and drown this unholyness
F7M                           C
Lean over the toilet bowl, and throw up my confession
Dm                      G
Cleanse my soul of this hidden obsession.

(Chorus) 2X

End with F7M C Dm G G F7M
