Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:

Dm Bb F Am7
Dm Bb F Am7


Verse 1:

Dm                      Bb        F       Am7
  Shoot a dream in your arm and sleep away
Dm                              Bb                    F        Am7
  It's not the stuff that kills you that keeps your life at bay
Dm         Bb              F    Am7
  Every crash pulls you in reach
Dm                  Bb                 F               Am7
  Of a watershed of signal flares that cover your beach
Bb                          F
These are just placebos to make us feel all right
    C                             Dm
Illusions in our pockets make our feathers float us high
      Bb                         F
For a second I thought I saw your eyelids rise
  C
A moment something restless caught you by surprise

Ise...
   Bb   F
Surprise
   Bb   F  C
Surprise


Verse 2:

Dm    Bb      F       Am7
  We are so beautiful when we sleep
Dm                   Bb     F            Am7
  Hearts of gold and eyes so deep, deep, deep
Bb
But love won't cure the chaos
    F
And hope won't hide the loss
    C                                Dm
And peace is not the heroine that shouts above the cause
    Bb
And love is wild for reasons
    F
And hope though short in sight
      C
Might be the only thing that wakes you by surprise


Chorus:

Bb F
Ise...
   Bb   F
Surprise
   Bb   F  C
Surprise


Instrumental:

Eb   Bb   C
  Dream little one
Eb   Bb        C
  See the world just begun


Pre-Chorus:

Bb
Love is wild for reasons
F
Hope though short in sight
      Am7/E                  Dm
Might be the only thing that brings you back to life
       Bb                        F        C
For a moment I thought I saw your eyelids rise

Ending:

     Bb  F  Bb F
