Intro: Db Db Db Db7 Ab6 Ab6 Ab6 F (x2)

Verse 1:
    Db                   Db7
You came to me in a dream
         Ab6                  F
Like the ideas I choose to sing
       Db                            Db7
And it coiled around me, such a thing
        Ab6
You said nothing but just
  F
Leave

Verse 2:
        Db
I could tell it was fake
                    Db7
The disdain on your face
  Ab6                                        F
I knew what you wanted but I won't win that race
              Db          Db7
And you didn't want me to
     Ab6         F
But I wanted you

Verse 3:
            Db         Db7
There was a quiet exchange
   Ab6                                  F
Of thoughts that can only happen in the brain
      Db
And I know it's projection
                   Db7          Ab6
Yet I still feel affection when I wake to see
                       F           Db
Something that reminds me that you wouldn't say those things
                             Db7
And you wouldn't think those thoughts
  Ab6                                          F
I don't know why I sing about a thing I barely lost

Interlude:
Db                     Db7     Ab6
Feel your teeth sink in to that last bit of skin
F
  Say nothing once more
            Bbm
Just let it happen

Db Db Db Db7 Ab6 Ab6 Ab6 Ab6
F F F F

Pre-chorus:
  Db
I wouldn't say these things
                           Db7
And I wouldn't think these thoughts
    Ab6                                       F
You don't know why I cling to a thing I never lost
      Db             Db7
I can see my breath
Ab6              F
  Taste the salt
Db                          Db7     Ab6                  F
 The air seems like it'd be so much clearer from up there
Db
 Now tell me
Db7          Ab6    F
What did you dream

Chorus:
      Db               Db7  Ab6
I can feel it slipping like sand
                       F       Db
I can feel it slipping from my hands
                   Db7    Ab6
The heat transfers to the wall
                       F
I can't remember it at all
   Db
My thoughts fog up the window
                        Db7
As my hopes echo in the hall
    Ab6                                  F
Now take a look around and tell me if it falls
Db                                   Db7
Dangerously low before the censoring sea
Ab6                                      F
Make sure you listen for that honorable plea

Outro:
Db
Freedom of greatness
           Db7
Treason of grace
   Ab6                                     F
Congratulate her for me when she wins that race
       Db
'Cause I was the first
                Db7
But I'll be the last
   Ab6                                  F
To see what it's like to have us in the past
