Verse
G Em
If I had one wish oh, I would sleeping tight
G D C
Rest my weary eyelids and drift off in the night
G Em
But here I'm contemplating and in comes the morning light
G D C
I choke on my breath as clouds go rolling by
[Refrão]Em C G
In my dreams oh, your face it is quite clear
Em C D G
I held you so close were did you disappear?
Verse
G Em
Yonder comes my baby she's prayin' for a smile
G D C
She sees the hurt I'm in and the devil in my eyes
G Em
She knows I'm dreading but hoping for a sign
G D C
A long lost friend would save me from my nightmares tonight
[Refrão]Em C G
I kept on walking and refused that free ride
Em C D G
Said I'm searching for a ghost have you seen him pass by?
Verse
G Em
Somewhere I'm pickin' daisies oh I'm laughin' like a child
G D C
Far from misfortune and my worn out tortured mind
G Em
Maybe someday I'll see you on a lonely drunken train ride
G D C
You could pick a melody and I'll just close my eyes
[Refrão]Em C G
Life is hell and God can't put you through it twice
Em C D G
Dreams are in between but I ain't sleepin' tonight
