Intro: D/B . . . D7 . . . E2 . . . Em . A .

Verse 1:
D/B.   A/C# .      E2 . . .                 D/B .    
You're only just a dreamboat, sailing in my head 
    A/C# .         E2 . . .                 D/B .
You swim my secret oceans of coral blue and red
     A/C# .           E2 . . .                       Gmaj9 . . .
Your smell is incense burning, your touch is silk and yet
                      D . . .              Gmaj9 . . .           (F#4 - F#)
It reaches through my skin, Moving from within, it clutches at my breast

Chorus:
                     D/B . . .              D7b11 . . .
But it's only when I sleep, I see you in my dreams, 
                E2 . . .                 Em .   A .
Got me spinning round and round, turning upside down
                    D/B . . .                D7b11 . . .
But I only hear you breathe, somewhere in my sleep, 
                E2 . . .                 Em .   A .
Got me spinning round and round, turning upside down
                     D/B . . . D7b11 . . . E2 . . . Em . A .
But it's only when I sleep

Verse 2:
D/B . A/C# .           E2 . . .                          D/B .    
And   when I wake from slumber, your shadow's dis - ap - peared
     A/C# .           E2 . . .                     D/B .    
Your breath is just a sea mist surrounding my bo - dy
    A/C# .              E2 . . .                      Gmaj9 . . .
I'm working through the daytime but when it's time to rest
                D . . .             Gmaj9 . . .              (F#4 - F#)
I'm lying in my bed, listening to my breath, falling from the edge
