C C C C7 G6 G6 G6 E X2
Verse 1:
C C7
You came to me in a dream
G6 E
Like the ideas I choose to sing
C C7
And it coiled around me-such a thing
G6
You said nothing but just
E
Leave
Verse 2:
C
I could tell it was fake
C7
The disdain on your face
G6 E
I knew what you wanted but I won't win that race
C C7
And you didn’t want me to
G6 E
But I wanted you
Verse 3:
C C7
There was a quiet exchange
G6 E
Of thoughts that can only happen in the brain
C
And I know its projection
C7 G6
And I still feel affection when I wake to see
E C
Something that reminds me that you wouldn't say those things
C7
And you wouldn't think those thoughts
G6 E
I dont know why I sing about a thing I barely lost
[Interlude]
C C7 G6 E
I feel your teeth sinking to that last bit of skin
Say nothing once more
Am
Just let it happen
C C C C7 G6 G6 G6 E
Pre-Chorus:
C
I wouldn’t say these things
C7
And I wouldn't think these thoughts
G6 E
You dont know why I cling to a thing I never lost
C C7
I can see my breath
G6 E
Taste the salt
C C7 G6 E
The air seems like it could be so much clearer from up there
C
Now tell me
C7 G6 E
What did you dream
Chorus:
C C7 G6
I can feel it slipping like sand
E C
I can feel it slipping from my hands
C7 G6
The heat transfers to the wall
E
I can't remember it at all
C
My thoughts fog up the window
C7
As my hopes echo in the hall
G6 E
Now take a look around and tell me if it falls
C C7
Dangerously low for the censoring sea
G6 E
Make sure you listen for that honorable plea
Outro:
C
Freedom of greatness
C7
Trees in embrace
G6 E
Congratulate her for me when she wins that race
C
'cause I was the first
C7
But Ill be the last
G6 E
To see what its like to have us in the past
C C C C7 G6 G6 G6 E x2
