I keep having dreams

Amy worked in a bar in Exeter

I went back to her house and I slept beside her

She woke up screaming in the middle of the night
G Am
Terrified of her own insides
Am F
Dreams of pirate ships and Patty Hearst
G Am
Breaking through a life of a rehearse
Am F
She can't remember which came first
G Am
The house the home or the terrible thirst
G
She keeps having dreams
F G
And on the worst days
G C F
When it feels like life weighs ten thousand tonnes

She's got her cowboy boots and her keys on the bed stand

So she can always run

She could get up and shower in half an hour

She'd be gone

Posters of Dylan and Hemingway

An antique compass for a sailor's escape

She says you just can't live this way

I close my eyes and never say

I'm still having dreams

And on the worst days

When it feels like life weighs ten thousand tonnes

I sleep with my passport, one eye on the back door

So I can always run

I could get up and shower in half an hour

I'd be gone
Am
And come morning I am disappeared
C G
Just an imprint on the bed sheets
Dm Am
And by the roadside with my thumb out
C G
A car pulls up and Bob's driving
Dm Am
So I climb in we don't say a word
C G
As we pull off into the sunrise
Dm Am
And these rivers of tarmac
C G
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
Dm Am
We are electric pulses
C G
In pathways of the sleeping soul of the country
Dm Am
We are electric pulses
C G
In pathways of the sleeping soul of the country
Dm
We are electric
Am C
In the sleeping soul of the country
G
(the sleeping soul of the country)
(Dm Am C G F)
