[D] [G]
[D] I [Em] had this dream where [D] I relished the [G] fray
And [D] the screaming [Em] filled my head all day
[D] [C] It
[D] was [Em] as though I'd been [D] spit here
Settled [G] in, into [D] the pocket
Of [Em] a lighthouse on [D] some rocky [C] socket
Up [D] the coast of France, [Em] here
One [D]
[G] afternoon, four thousand [D]
men
Died [Em] in the water, [D] here
[G] [C] Five hundred [D] more were crashing [Em] madly
As [D]
parasites [G] might eat your [Em] blood
[D]
[G] [C] [G]
[Bm] Now [Em] as in a lifeboat [D] designed for ten
[G] Ten only, anything [D]
[Em] that's systematic
Would get [D] you hated
[C] It's not a deal, not a [D]
test
Not [E] a life of salvation
[G] [D]
[G] Yeah, [D]
the [Em] selection was quick
The crew [D] was lit, in [G] order
And [D] those left [Em] in the water
[G] Got kicked off our [C] planet land
[D]
And [Em] we headed for [G] home
[C] [D]
[Em] [G]
[C] [Em] [D]
[Em] Then the dream ends
[D] When the phone [G] rings
You knew it all right
You [Bm] said it's out there
Most [Em] days and nights
And [D]
only [C] a fool would [D] complain [Em] Anyway, [D] Susan
If [Em] you'd [G] like a [D]
conversation
[E] Spade [D] us out in [C] my memory
[D]
As [E] those [D] fingernails [C] scratchin' on my
