Chords with lyrics

intro:
G+G

verse:
     C majorC
If it was only in our heads, only in our dreams
G+G
Nothing we ever spoke of, nothing evergreen
              C majorC
you know I dreamed we were hunted by lions, bursting for air

so we hid out in the brambles and played like we were dead
   G+G              D MajorD
never terrified of what that might mean

chorus:
     E minorEm           C majorC             G+G
Why is it clinging to life, this longing that should now be dead?
     E minorEm    D MajorD            G+G
Why do I need you, feeling your claws in my back?
      E minorEm        C majorC         G+G
I've got a few ideas and an image of you in my bed

verse:
     C majorC
If it was only a mirage, a hopeless scene
G+G
Nothing close to water, nothing so serene
              C majorC
you know I dreamed we were walking a wire across a ravine

locked in on each other and then I hear you scream
   G+G            D MajorD
but I never saw you open your mouth

chorus:
     E minorEm           C majorC             G+G
Why is it clinging to life, this longing that should now be dead?
     E minorEm    D MajorD            G+G
Why do I need you, feeling your claws in my back?
      E minorEm        C majorC         G+G
I've got a few ideas and an image of you in my bed

instrumental:
G+G  C majorC   E minorEm   D MajorD   G+G    E minorEm   C majorC   G+G

verse:
     C majorC
If it was only for the foolish, decision to careen
G+G
Nothing that you walk from, nothing so clean
             C majorC
you know I dreamed of the end of the world, that whole nightmare routine

I found you in the closet with your mother's old tureen
         G+G           D MajorD
You said there's one fear I had not confirmed

final chorus:
     E minorEm           C majorC             G+G
Why is it clinging to life, this longing that should now be dead?
     E minorEm    D MajorD            G+G
Why do I need you, feeling your claws in my back?
      E minorEm        C majorC         G+G
I've got a few ideas and an image of you in my bed
     E minorEm        C majorC             G+G
