Intro : Bm , D , E , Em , A

Bm     A           E 
You're only just a dreamboat 
              Bm
Sailing in my head
    A              E  
You swim my secret ocean 
                  Bm
Of coral blue and red
     A                E  
Your smell is incense burning
                     G 
Your touch is silken yet
                      D 
It reaches through my skin
                G 
Moving from within
                   F#(Run)
And clutches at my breast
                             Bm         
Chorus: But it's only when I sleep 
                        D 
        I see you in my dreams 
                        E
        Got me spinning round and round
                Em     A  
        Turning upside down
                            Bm
        But I only hear you breathe
                        D 
        Somewhere in my sleep
                        E 
        Got me spinning round and round
                Em     A
        Turning upside down

        But it's only when I sleep
Bm         A         E  
And when I wake from slumber
              Bm 
Your shadow's disappeared
     A                E     
Your breath is just a sea mist 
               Bm  
Surrounding my body
    A                   E 
I'm working through the daytime
                      G
But when it's time to rest
                D 
I'm lying in my bed
                G 
Listening to my breath
                 F#(Run) 
Falling from the edge

(Repeat Chorus)
                     D 
But it's only when I sleep
          D 
Yeah Yeah Yeah
          D
Yeah Yeah Yeah
          F#
Yeah Yeah Yeah

Instrumental - Same chords as the chorus
                         D 
It's reaching through my skin
                G
Moving from within
                   F#(Run) 
And clutches at my breast........

(Chorus)
