album version
Intro: / Em - - - / - - - - / C - - - / - - - - / (x2)
Em Dsus2
I linger in the doorway,
Em Dsus2
Of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name,
Em Dsus2
Let me stay where the wind will whisper to me,
Em Dsus2
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story.
Chorus:
Em C
In my field of paper flowers,
Em C
And candy clouds of lullaby.
Em C D
I lie inside myself for hours,
Em C
And watch my purple sky fly over me.
Em Dsus2
Don't say I'm out of touch
Em Dsus2
With this rampant chaos - your reality
Em Dsus2
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
Em Dsus2
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
Chorus
/ B - - - / B B/A B/G B/F# /
Em
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Dsus2 Em Dsus2
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Em
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
Dsus2 Em Dsus2
The Goddess of imaginary light
Chorus
Outro: / Em - - - / - - - - / C - - - / - - - - / (x4)
