verse 1
Bb
Celebrate the passing drugs
Gm
Put them on the back seat while
They're coursing in your blood
Bb
Cause there are monsters oh
Gm
Walking down Argyle Street
Where the evening colors go (it's true)
[Refrão]Eb Cm D
I had a dream that you were leaving
Bb Gm
It's hard to be a lover when the TV's on
F
And nothing is in your eyes
Eb Cm D
I had a dream that you were leaving
Bb Gm
Where every atom falling in the universe
F
Is passing through our lives
verse 2
Press yourself to me right now
Push yourself deep down now
To the dark hills I must go
Where the shadows hide
Waiting for the final call
It's coming down the line
Chorus x2
I had a dream that you were leaving
I had a dream that you were leaving
