Intro: D5 Bb5 F5 A5 (2x)

D5                     Bb5      F5         A5
 Shoot a dream in your arm and sleep away,
D5                        Bb5                       F5           A5
 It's not the stuff that kills you that keeps your life at bay.
D5      Bb5                F5    A5        
 Every crash pulls you in reach,
D5                  Bb5                F5               A5 
 Of a watershed of signal flares that cover your beach,


Bb5                         F5
These are just placebos to make us feel all right,
C5                                  D5
Illusions in our pockets make our feathers float us high,
Bb5                                 F5
For a second I thought I saw your eyelids rise,
       C5                         D5
For a moment something restless caught you by surprise,


   Bb5 F5
Surprise, 
   Bb5 F5
surprise, 
   Bb5 F5  C5
surprise.


D5  Bb5     F5                  A5 
 We are so beautiful when we sleep,
D5                   Bb5       F5          A5
 Hearts of gold and eyes so.. deep, deep, deep.


Bb5                             F5
But love won't cure the chaos, and hope won't hide the loss,
     C5                             D5
And peace is not the heroine that shouts above the cause.
Bb5                             F5
And love is wild for reasons, and hope though short in sight,
C5                             D5    
Might be the only thing that wakes you by surprise


   Bb5 F5
Surprise, 
   Bb5  F5
surprise, 
   Bb5  F5  C5

Bb5                           F5
Love is wild for reasons, and hope though short in sight,
C5                             D5
Might be the only thing that wakes you by surprise,
Bb5                              F5        C5
for a moment I thought I saw your eyelids rise.....
