4/4 time        --->    guitar capo 4th fret    <-----


(verse 1)
|G      /       /       /       |Em     /       /       /       |
        over the rooftops a             plane in the sky

|G      /       /       /       |Em     /       /       /       |
        beat of a bass drum cars        passing me by

|A      /       /       /       |Em     /       /       /       |
        under a bridge dark then        back into light

|A      /       /       /       |Em     /       /       /       |
   a    river of raincoats & a   forest of      faces

(verse 2)
        still for a moment then red into green
        slow shuffling shoes whisper sight unseen
        row upon row of houses return an empty stare
        let the daydream for a little while longer

(chorus)
|G      /       /       /       |D      /       /       /       |
        (vocal adlib)

|Am     /       /       /       |C      /       /       /       |
 hope i'll never wake            when i'm       thinking about you

|G      /       /       /       |D      /       /       /       |
        (vocal adlib)

|Am     /       /       /       |C      /       /       /       |
 hope I'll never wake       `cuz now I'm thinking about you

|Am     /       /       /       |


(verse 3)
        two-minute hailstorm then melts into rain
        sing me a rainbow it's sunny again
        swallows overhead while the traffic snarls below
        could I, could I keep dreaming for a little while longer

(chorus)
        hope I'll never wake
        when I'm thinking about you
        so that you know - never want to wake
        `cuz now I'm thinking about you

(bridge)
|Em     /       /       /       |F      /       /       /       |
  when you're    searching your   soul  when you're searching for

|C      /       /       /       |Am     /       /       /       |
  pleasure                   how  often          pain is all you

|Em     /       /       /       |F      /       /       /       |
  find   but when you're coasting along        & nobody's trying

|C      /       /       /       |D     /       /        /       |
  too hard                     you can  turn around & like where you are


(play chorus without vocal and without the Am bar on the end)

(chorus)
        I hope I never wake
        when I'm thinking about you
        & I close my eyes
        now I'll never never wake
        why should I stop thinking about you

(end on G chord)


Notes:  the tune on the CD seems to be at least two electric guitars,
but this translates well to an acoustic. I would tab out the guitar
parts, but 1. i'm too lazy and 2. whatever it is that the electrix
are playing, it's based heavily on the chords anyway.
