DREAM
A D
A D
come now through all of it, downtown and tenement
A D
through dark clouds. all circling our house, like a tourniquet
A D
the front door splinters in, you come down the hall, unfaltering
A D
your lips licked and shimmering, leaning in and i'm vanishing
A B F#m
i close my eyes
A B F#m
and you arrive
D
but oh it's just a dream, it's just a dream
D
but it's just a dream until you see it happening
A D
A
in the plaza after work
D
i saw you rise up out of your collared shirts
A
on the horizon there was another world
D
we left the phantom hand and we ran for her
A B F#m
i close my eyes
A B F#m
and we're aligned
A B F#m
and that's a blinding light
D
but oh it’s just a dream,
it's just a dream,
it's just a dream,

but it's just a dream until you see it happening
