Verse 1:
C                 Am
In the gloaming of the night-court
F                     G
The queen calls you to sleep
Em                 Am
She blankets you with moonbeams
F                  G
She beckons you with dreams
C                 Am
So surrender to her majesty
F                    G
And heed the queen’s decree
Em                 Am
She’ll swaddle you in starlight
F                   G
And beguile you with peace

Chorus:
C               Am
So meet me in your dreams
F                  G
And we will never be apart
C                         Am
I promise I will find you in the shadows and the dark
F                     G
The day is gone, the nights are long, and this is just the start
C               Am
So meet me in-between the moon,
F               G
the galaxies and stars

Verse 2:
C                 Am
As the sun begins to set
F               G
The queen collects her debts
Em                 Am
She comes to you with heavy lids
F               G
To tuck you into bed
C                 Am
As the day turns into night
F               G
The queen demands a tithe
Em                 Am
You cannot run, you cannot hide
F               G
But you can close your eyes

Chorus:
C               Am
So meet me in your dreams
F                  G
And we can dance across the sky
C               Am
A minuet, our heart’s duet, a tango improvised
F                       G
And who’s to say what lays in wait when day turns into night
C                Am
So look for me in your dreams
F                   G
I promise so will I

Bridge:
F              G
And when the sun returns
C                  Am
We’ll savor all we’ve learned
F                  G
The tutelage of dreams
C              Am
The alchemy of sleep
F              G
And if we spent our dreams
C               Em
In pleasant company
F              G         Am
Then we’ll awake in harmony

Chorus:
C               Am
So meet me in your dreams
F                  G
‘Cause I can’t get enough of you
C                Am
I’ll climb the stars, I’ll scale the moon
F                G
There’s nothing I won’t do
C               Am
And when we meet in sleep so deep
F               G
I think that you will find
F               G                     Am
The day’s nice, but nothing beats the night
F               G                     C
The day’s so nice, but oh my god the night
