4 4 time ---> guitar capo 4th fret
(verse 1)
G Em
over the rooftops a plane in the sky
G Em
beat of a bass drum cars passing me by
A Em
under a bridge dark then back into light
A Em
a river of raincoats & a forest of faces
(verse 2)
still for a moment then red into green
slow shuffling shoes whisper sight unseen
row upon row of houses return an empty stare
let the daydream for a little while longer
(chorus)
G D
(vocal adlib)
Am C
hope i'll never wake when i'm thinking about you
G D
(vocal adlib)
Am C
hope I'll never wake `cuz now I'm thinking about you

(verse 3)
two-minute hailstorm then melts into rain
sing me a rainbow it's sunny again
swallows overhead while the traffic snarls below
could I, could I keep dreaming for a little while longer
(chorus)
hope I'll never wake
when I'm thinking about you
so that you know - never want to wake
`cuz now I'm thinking about you
(bridge)
Em F
when you're searching your soul when you're searching for
C Am
pleasure how often pain is all you
Em F
find but when you're coasting along & nobody's trying
C D
too hard you can turn around & like where you are
(play chorus without vocal and without the Am bar on the end)
(chorus)
I hope I never wake
when I'm thinking about you
& I close my eyes
now I'll never never wake
why should I stop thinking about you
(end on G chord)
