G Dsus2 Cadd9
G Dsus2 Cadd9
G Dsus2 Cadd9
D Dsus2 D
[Verse 1]
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Burst into heaven
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Kiss in the cotton clouds
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
D Dsus2 D
I can't stop coming down
[Verse 2]
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Your shrunken head
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Looking down on me above
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Send me home like an elephant stone
D Dsus2 D
To smash my dream of love
[Verse 3]
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Dreaming till the sun goes down
G Dsus2 Cadd9
And night turns into day
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Rooms are empty I've got plenty
D Dsus2 D
You could move in right away
C D Dsus2 D
Seems like there's a hole
G Dsus2 Cadd9
In my dreams
G Dsus2 Cadd9
In my dreams
G Dsus2 D
In my dreams
D Dsus2 D
[Verse 3]
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Down through the heavens
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Choke on the cotton clouds
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
D Dsus2 D
I can't stop coming down
[Verse 4]
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Your shrunken head
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Looking down on me above
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Send me home like an elephant stone
D Dsus2 D
To smash my dream of love
[Verse 5]
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Hid your bed and bookshelf go
G Dsus2 Cadd9
And run run run away
G Dsus2 Cadd9
These four walls saw the rise and fall
D Dsus2 D
And your midnight getaway
[Chorus 2]
C D Dsus2 D
Seems like there's a hole
G
In my dreams
G
Or so it seems
Dsus2
Yet nothing means anything
G Dsus2 Cadd9
Anymore
[Outro]
