Intro: G          D       A 


verse 1 

G 
I got myself good 
And lost for words 
      D                    A               G 
I got a suitcase full of happily ever afters 
G 
The late orange light 
A beginners guide 
      D                    A                          G 
To when a perfect stranger didn't seem so hard to find 
G 
You only want to see 
What's impossible 
      D                    A                            G 
And I'm addicted to remembering like some idiot oracle 


Bm                 A7 
And I see you when 
          D 
When you disappear down every street 
Bm                 A7 
And I hear you when 
          D 
When you turn and talk in your sleep 
Bm                 A7 
I can't call you out 
          D 
When you're walking around in a silent movie 
Bm              A7                D                 G 
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me 


Instrumental D         A 


verse 2 

G 
So we sit and stare 
Into the glowing heads 
      D                    A               G 
Of the geniuses floating past us everywhere 
G 
Hide their dreams inside 
Of a jewellery box 
        D                         A                   G 
And every time I try to lift the lid the music stops 
G 
So we sleep right through 
Every wake up call 
         D                          A                      G 
Soon we'll straighten up and fly right into that coma wall 
G 


Bm                 A7 
And I see you when 
          D                    G 
When you disappear down every street 
Bm                 A7 
And I hear you when 
          D                    G 
When you turn and talk in your sleep 
Bm                 A7 
Just call it off 
          D                    G 
It's lighting up your night with precious worry 
Bm                 A7 
I can't call you out 


Outro 

          D                    G 
When you're walking around in a silent movie 
Bm              A7            D             Gmaj7 
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me 
Bm              A7            D             Gmaj7 
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me 
Bm              A7            D             Gmaj7 
You wouldn't dream
