[A] I take [E] decaf coffee, [Am] two [A] sugars and [Am] one cream.
[A] I don't see [Em] the use in staying [Am] up just to watch TV.
I unplug all [Em] the neon, [E] [Am] turn the ringer off the [F] phone.
[Am] Throw my thoughts [Em] like tomahawks [F] into this world which I disown.
[Am] Because the pillow [Dm] that I dream on [G] is the threshold of [Am] a kingdom,
is the [Dm] threshold of [G] a world where I'm with [Am] you.
It's a dark and snowy [Dm] secret, [G] and it has to do [Am] with heaven,
and [Dm] what looks like sleep [G] is really [Am] hot to see.

I [A] hold your picture [G] in my mind, it [A] makes me warm when I'm [F] cold.
[A] It gets me up [G] and it makes me walk, it makes me [Dm] question what I'm told.
[Am] Somewhere in a [G] foggy atlas, look [Am] out mountain, look out [F] sea.
[Am] First life takes time, then [Em] time takes life, [Dm] now the next moves up to me.
[Am] Because the pillow [D] that I dream [Dm] on [G] leads to some fantastic [Am] glory,
[Dm] it's the threshold of [G] a world I can't [Am] ignore.
Like time on school [Dm] from heaven, did you find [G] me sleeping in your [Am] doorway?
[Dm] I'm here for good, I [G] won't leave you [Am] anymore.
