Intro : B5 , D5 , E5 , E5 , A5

B5     A5           E5 
You're only just a dreamboat 
              B5
Sailing in my head
    A5              E5  
You swim my secret ocean 
                  B5
Of coral blue and red
     A5                E5  
Your smell is incense burning
                     G5 
Your touch is silken yet
                      D5 
It reaches through my skin
                G5 
Moving from within
                   F#(Run)
And clutches at my breast
                             B5         
Chorus: But it's only when I sleep 
                        D5 
        I see you in my dreams 
                        E5
        Got me spinning round and round
                E5     A5  
        Turning upside down
                            B5
        But I only hear you breathe
                        D5 
        Somewhere in my sleep
                        E5 
        Got me spinning round and round
                E5     A5
        Turning upside down

        But it's only when I sleep
B5         A5         E5  
And when I wake from slumber
              B5 
Your shadow's disappeared
     A5                E5     
Your breath is just a sea mist 
               B5  
Surrounding my body
    A5                   E5 
I'm working through the daytime
                      G5
But when it's time to rest
                D5 
I'm lying in my bed
                G5 
Listening to my breath
                 F#(Run) 
Falling from the edge

(Repeat Chorus)
                     D5 
But it's only when I sleep
          D5 
Yeah Yeah Yeah
          D5
Yeah Yeah Yeah
          F#5
Yeah Yeah Yeah

Instrumental - Same chords as the chorus
                         D5 
It's reaching through my skin
                G5
Moving from within
                   F#(Run) 
And clutches at my breast........

(Chorus)
