A5 F5  C5   G5
 
A5                    F5
If I leave before the Raven 
       C5               G5
Just before the empire falls 
A5                   F5
We might find the occasion 
           C5              G5
To dance upon those city walls 


F5                    E5        A5
Just imagine if each line you drew 
                E5
Was directed by you 
F5                    E5        A5
And imagine that each cup you filled 
                E5
Was a moment meant for you 


   F5             A5
And illuminated red 
   F5             A5
And illuminated white instead 
   F5                      A5
Like a red sock burning through my table 
   F5         G5
Lying in my bed 


A5 F5  C5   G5
 
A5                    F5
If I wake before they close up 
       C5               G5
Just before the washing's done 
A5                    F5
I can watch my warm socks spinning 
       C5               G5
And write a song to strike you dumb 

F5                    E5        
Just imagine if each word 
    A5                     E5
We said was collected in a bag
  F5                 E5        A5
And imagine if your mouth on mine
                            E5 
Could bring all those atoms back

F5                    E5         
And imagine lions and geese in here 
    A5                     E5
And imagine cars and trains 
F5                    E5        A5
And imagine perfect sleep in here 
                            E5
From the tyre tracks in your brain 

   F5             A5
And illuminated red 
   F5             A5
And illuminated white instead 
   F5                      A5
Like a white sun burning through my TV
   F5         G5
Lying in my bed
