My dream girl, those eyes, that nose

My private inside joke, sign the cast on my funny bone
  G     Gmaj7     G7             C
Floral sheets on long-given-up ghosts
Edim7     G          E7       Am          D7      G
Haunt my bedroom at night and say “let’s get you home”

Pre-Chorus:
               C                                                     G   Gmaj7   G7
They say “grow up, be a man ‘cause until then you’re nothing but a short-haired girl”

But come and Braille-palm-read, hold my hands, see my reason and “Goodbye cruel world”

Dream girl come and sweep me off my knees
     Cm          Edim7             Am      D7              G
I’d rather stay asleep than never see you wake up next to me

 G    Gmaj7       G7                C
Neon lights like heat lamps in the cold
   Cm             G                Am7                 D7
To incubate the shadows you can’t stitch back to your soles
 G         Gmaj7     G7           C
You seemed fine just a few days ago
   Edim7     G         E7    Am      D7      G
But CO2 and fish tanks do enough to get you home

Well now you swear in your prayers telling time “Promise I’ll never have fun again
    C                                                   G    G    G
If you’d stop flying” but then you start crying “never mind, you win!”
     B7               Em
And far too late came far too soon
       Edim7                             D                D7
And the love you never made became the things you’d never do. Oh, sweet Mary!

Chorus:
  G                   G7                 C
Dream girl come, but keep your hands off me

But come and Braille-palm-read, hold my hands and you’ll see that it’s me who cries mercy

while your fingers curl

And oh, are you at all like me?
  Edim7                        D               D7
Do you know what I mean? Or am I too close to see? Someone, anyone?

Chorus:
G                 G7             C
Of the two things we do on our knees:
Cm               Edim7                    Am    D7
Watch me fold my hands just to crack my knuckles
