[INTRO]


[V1]
C          Am7           G
  A disconcerting way to wake:

to find everything in place
C               Am7           G           F
 the world goes on without my faith in anything
C            Am7              G
 to have to drag myself from bed,

pull a sweater over my head
C         Am7           G              F
 somehow find a way to brave the sun again

[CH 1]
     Am     F
And all of this
     Am          F
just as I was beginning
   Am7             Em *   F
to have the most amazing dream.

[V2]
C                 Am7
 They rolled the stones away
 G
and let everyone
C            Am7        G      F
 come right in and say hello to me.
C               Am7           G
 They picked me up and held me there
                 C
and smiled at my
    Am7    G    F
crumpled wings.

[CH 2]
    Am      F
And all of this
     Am          F
just as I was beginning
   Am7              Em *  F
to have the most amazing dream.

Am - F - Am - F
Am7 - Em * - F

[INST]  C - Am7 - F - [ Em * - G ]  (x4)


[OUTRO]
C             Am7            F   [ Em * - G ]
 And when you go to sleep at night,
C           Am7          F    [ Em * - G ]
 don't you ever feel the weight
C            Am7                F     [ Em * - G ]
 of all the things that make you happy;
C             Am7              F   [ Em * - G ]
 that float around you, pull you down?

    Am    F
And don't you
Am       F
ever want to
Am7              Em *        F
stand up on the waves and run?

[CHORDS]
Em *: 022010
Am7: X02010 (it sound better, but a regular Am works alright too)
F : 133211


**the whole INST part is built around the pull of the B-string (000010), so in general 
chords should be PICKED like this:

C : X32010 - X32000 - X32010
Am : X02210 - X02200 - X02210
F: no change
Em*: 022010 - 022000
G: 320010 - 320000

it's very similar to the structure of "True Love Waits" only much slower (and picked, if 
prefer)

you can also have a lot of fun working in the really high-pitched electric solo at the end:

E:-------3-- | 
B:-0-1------ | 
G:---------- |
