I keep having
CCsus4Csus2C
dreams of pioneers and pirate ships and Bob Dylan
Csus4Csus2C
Of people wrapped up tight in the thing that'll kill them
Csus4Csus2C
Of being trapped in a lift plunging straight to the bottom
Csus4Csus2Am
Of open seas and ways of life we've forgotten
G
I keep having dreams
AmF
Amy worked in a bar in Exeter
GAm
I went back to her house and I slept beside her
AmF
She woke up screaming in the middle of the night
GAm
Terrified of her own insides
AmF
Dreams of pirate ships and Patty Hearst
GAm
Breaking through a life of a rehearse
AmF
She can't remember which came first
GAm
The house the home or the terrible thirst
G
She keeps having dreams
FG
And on the worst days
GCF
When it feels like life weighs ten thousand tonnes
FGC
She's got her cowboy boots and her keys on the bed stand
F
So she can always run
F
She could get up and shower in half an hour
FAm
She'd be gone
AmF
I keep having dreams of things I need to do
GAm
Of waking up and not following through
AmF
It feels like I haven't slept at all
GAm
When I wake to a silence and she's facing the wall
AmF
Posters of Dylan and Hemingway
GAm
An antique cupboard ... sailor's escape (?)
AmF
She says you just can't live this way
GAm
I close my eyes and never say
G
I'm still having dreams
FG
And on the worst days
GCF
When it feels like life weighs ten thousand tonnes
FGC
I sleep with my passport, one eye on the back door
F
So I can always run
Fm
I could get up and shower in half an hour
Am
I'd be gone
Am
And come morning I am disappeared
CG
Just an imprint on the bed sheets
DmAm
And by the roadside with my thumb out
CG
A car pulls up and Bob's driving
DmAm
So I climb in we don't say a word
CG
As we pull off into the sunrise
DmAm
And these rivers of tarmac
CG
Are like arteries 'cross the country
Dm
We are blood cells
Am
Alive in
C
The blood stream
G
and the beating heart of the country
DmAm
We are electric pulses
CG
In pathways of the sleeping soul of the country
DmAm
We are electric pulses
CG
In pathways of the sleeping soul of the country
Dm
We are electric
AmC
In the sleeping soul of the country
G
(the sleeping soul of the country)
