Shoot a dream in your arm and sleep away,

It's not the stuff that kills you that keeps your life at bay.

Every crash pulls you in reach,
Dm Bb9 F A7
Of a watershed of signal flares that cover your beach,

These are just placebos to make us feel all right,
C Dm
Illusions in our pockets make our feathers float us high,

For a second I thought I saw your eyelids rise,
C Dm
For a moment something restless caught you by surprise,

We are so beautiful when we sleep,
Dm Bb9 F A7
Hearts of gold and eyes so.. deep, deep, deep.
Bb9 F
But love won't cure the chaos, and hope won't hide the loss,
C Dm
And peace is not the heroine that shouts above the cause.
Bb F
And love is wild for reasons, and hope though short in sight,
C Dm
Might be the only thing that wakes you by surprise
Bb9 F
Surprise,
Bb F
surprise,
Bb F C
surprise.
