Intro: Dm Bb9 F A7 (2x)

Dm                     Bb9      F         A7
 Shoot a dream in your arm and sleep away,
Dm                        Bb9                       F           A7
 It's not the stuff that kills you that keeps your life at bay.
Dm      Bb9                F    A7        
 Every crash pulls you in reach,
Dm                  Bb9                F               A7 
 Of a watershed of signal flares that cover your beach,


Bb9                         F
These are just placebos to make us feel all right,
C                                  Dm
Illusions in our pockets make our feathers float us high,
Bb9                                 F
For a second I thought I saw your eyelids rise,
       C                         Dm
For a moment something restless caught you by surprise,


   Bb9 F
Surprise, 
   Bb9 F
surprise, 
   Bb9 F  C
surprise.


Dm  Bb9     F                  A7 
 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

D# Bb9                C
 See the world that's just begun.


Bb9                           F
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        C
for a moment I thought I saw your eyelids rise.....
