We didn't find it there so we moved on

To a small farm in Nebraska

To a gold mine in Alaska

We didn't find it there   so we moved on 

Bridge 

    G#             C# 
And now we've left Alaska  
D#                   G# 
Because there was no gold mine 
              C#       Bbm               D# 
But this time     only two of us move on 
    G#                      C# 
And now all we have is each other  
D#                           G# 
And a little memory To cling to  
                    C#           Bbm   D# 
And still you won't let me go on alone 


              G#       C# 
I know you're tired of following 
Bbm        C#         G#  
My elusive dreams and schemes 
C#         Bbm  G# 
Oh they're only fleeting things 
D#         G# 
My elusive dreams 

Outro

Bbm        G#          
My elusive dreams and schemes 
C#         Bbm  G# 
Oh they're only fleeting things 
D#         G# 
My elusive dreams
