Verse
-----
Em           D                C               Bm                                
Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state

Em                D            C            Bm
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake

Em                 D            C               Bm
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber

Em               D          C               Bm
Until I realize that it was you who held me under

              Em                       D             C       Bm                           
Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids

                   Em                         D                C     Bm              
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs


Chorus
------
Bm                      Em                 D         C     Bm
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone

                       Em                    D              C     Bm
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden

                        Em                      D
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love

                        C                      Bm
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love

                        Em          D                  C     Bm
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world



Bridge
------
C            D                       Em
Snow White's stitching up the circuitboards

         D                          C
Synapse slipping through the hidden door

             D                       Em
Snow White's stitching up the circuitboard

         D                          C
Synapse slipping through the hidden door


Notes:
------
In the Chorus, sometimes I switch up the Bm with a D every other line, like this?.

Em    D     C     Bm
Em    D     C     D
Em    D     C     Bm
Em    D     C     D

Not sure if that matches the album exactly, but I like it.  See what you think!
