verse 1 

G           Bm        C          G 
I've been a Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger 
Em       G      Em        D      
Stung by anger, burned by law 
G       Bm         C                   G          Em      
Feel so Scattered, like nothing really matters anymore, 
         G         Em          D      
Put that sign out, on my front door 


C         G            Bm      
Hitchin a ride on the PCH 
           C        C      Am      
I got some things I need to say 
                        D      
Callin' out a friend of mine 

C       G                         Bm      
I don't know where the years have gone, 
              C         C      Am      
Just know I'm worse for hangin' on 
                                        D      
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie 
Am              C                 G      
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai 


verse 2 
I knew a good man, he was a break in the Clouds, 
hangin' so low down 
It's got me to thinking, it's not like he gave in, 
He just never got that second win 

Chorus 
Hitchin a ride on the PCH 
I got some things I need to say 
Callin' out a friend of mine 

I don't know where the years have gone, 
Just know I'm worse for hangin' on 
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie 
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

verse 3 

I've been a Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger 
Son, hedge your wager, cause life aint fair 
I been shaken, sorely mistaken, this path I've taken 
Aint goin nowhere 

Chorus 

Hitchin a ride on the PCH 
I got some things I need to say 
Callin' out a friend of mine 

I don't know where the years have gone, 
Just know I'm worse for hangin' on 
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie 
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai 
Am              C                 G      ........ 
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai
