[Em]
[A] [Bm]
[A] You're only just [E] a dream, boss, sailing in [Bm] my head
[A] You swoon my secret [E] oceans of coral blue [Bm] and red
[A] Your smell is incense [E] burning, your touch is [G] silken, yeah
It reaches through [D] my skin, moving from [G] within
Clutches at [F#] my breast, birds [Bm] singing
Only when I sleep, see you in [D] my dreams
You got me [E] spinning round and round, turning [Em] upside down
[A] But I [D] only hear [Bm] you breathe, somewhere in [D] my sleep
[E] Spinning round and round, turning [Em] upside down
But it's [A] only [Bm] when I sleep,
[A] when I wake [E] from slumber
Your shadows [Bm] disappear, [C#m] your breath is just [E] a sea mist
Surrounding my [Bm] body, [A] I'm working through [E] the daytime
But when it's time [G] to rest, I'm lying in [D] my bed
Listening to [G] my breath, falling from [A#m] the [Bm] [F#] edge
[Bm] But it's only when I sleep, I see you in [D] my dreams
You got me [E] spinning round and round, turning [Em] upside down
[A] But I [Bm] only hear you breathe, somewhere in [D] my sleep
You got me [E] spinning round and round, [Em] turning upside [A] down
But it's only [D] when [G] I sleep, yeah yeah
