Am F  C   G
 
Am                    F
If I leave before the Raven 
       C               G
Just before the empire falls 
Am                   F
We might find the occasion 
           C              G
To dance upon those city walls 


F                    Em        Am
Just imagine if each line you drew 
                Em
Was directed by you 
F                    Em        Am
And imagine that each cup you filled 
                Em
Was a moment meant for you 


   F             Am
And illuminated red 
   F             Am
And illuminated white instead 
   F                      Am
Like a red sock burning through my table 
   F         G
Lying in my bed 


Am F  C   G
 
Am                    F
If I wake before they close up 
       C               G
Just before the washing's done 
Am                    F
I can watch my warm socks spinning 
       C               G
And write a song to strike you dumb 

F                    Em        
Just imagine if each word 
    Am                     Em
We said was collected in a bag
  F                 Em        Am
And imagine if your mouth on mine
                            Em 
Could bring all those atoms back

F                    Em         
And imagine lions and geese in here 
    Am                     Em
And imagine cars and trains 
F                    Em        Am
And imagine perfect sleep in here 
                            Em
From the tyre tracks in your brain 

   F             Am
And illuminated red 
   F             Am
And illuminated white instead 
   F                      Am
Like a white sun burning through my TV
   F         G
Lying in my bed
