A bad dream shook me in my [G] sleep,
[C] and I [D] woke up sweating,
Ran through the dark to the [G] shower,
[Bb] already [A] forgetting,
[D] Try to think good [G] thoughts,
[A] trying to find [Em] my way [Dm] clear,
Let the room fill [G] with steam,
[Bb] trace pictures on [A] the mirror,
[G] Ghosts [C] and clouds,
[D] and nameless things,
Squint your [G] eyes and hope real hard, [D]
[Am] [Gb] maybe [D] sprout wings,
I [Dm] [D]
[Dm] [D]
[Dm] [D]
clawed my way to the living [G] room window, [Em] stood there [D] in the cold,
The last bits of my dream, like figures in the distance,
[Bb] Hard [A] to hold, I thought [D] of old friends, the ones who'd gone [G] missing,
[Am] Said all their names three [D] times, phantoms in [G] the early dark,
[Bb] Canaries [A] in the mines, [G] ghosts [C] and clouds, [G] [D] and nameless [G] things,
[D] Squint your eyes and hope real hard, [Am] [D]
maybe sprout wings,
