Verse 1:
Dm                 Bb
In the gloaming of the night-court
F                     C
The queen calls you to sleep
Dm                 Bb
She blankets you with moonbeams
F                  C
She beckons you with dreams

Pre-Chorus:
Dm                 Bb
So surrender to her majesty
F                    C
And heed the queen’s decree
Dm                Bb
She’ll swaddle you in starlight
F                   C
And beguile you with peace


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


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


Chorus:
Dm               Bb
So meet me in your dreams
F                  C
And we can dance across the sky
Dm                     Bb
A minuet, our heart’s duet, a tango improvised
F                       C
And who’s to say what lays in wait when day turns into night


Bridge:
Dm                Bb
So look for me in your dreams
F                   C
I promise so will I


Verse 3:
Dm              Bb
And when the sun returns
F                   C
We’ll savor all we’ve learned
Dm                  Bb
The tutelage of dreams
F              C
The alchemy of sleep
Dm              Bb
And if we spent our dreams
F               C
In pleasant company
Dm              Bb
Then we’ll awake in harmony
F                 C
In perfect melody


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