Intro: Em C Em D Em
Em
I wonder, can you daydream at night?
C D
Lying awake, I've had too much time.
Em
I'm watching picture shows in the shadows
C
Dance for the crowd tonight.
D C
Imagination is such a vivid place to hide,
D
While stars watch over you.
Em
Through silent homes
D
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
C
The way I've walked before,
D Em
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.
D
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
C D Em
I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear,
C
The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling.
D Em
We'll hear everything except what we need to hear.
C
Sleeplessness is for the restless, and I'm just fine,
D C D
Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness.
Em D C
There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes.
D Em
Let them weave their little webs to snatch the sunlight from the lens.
D C
I'm staring at the ceiling 'cause I'm fed up with the sight.
D C
Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads,
D
While stars watch over you.
Em
Through silent homes
D
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
C
The way I've walked before,
D Em
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.
D
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
C D
Cast the sheep out of your mind,
Em
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight.
Em D C
I stumble in and I stumble out of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses,
D
But I'm at home,
Em D
Now a ghost that has left behind his sheets,
C D C
Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere I know that I've never been.
D Em
I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you.
D C
I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you.
D Em
And I'll walk while stars watch over you.
D C
And I'll walk while stars watch over you.
