Only when I sleep    (intro)    (midi)    (sample)

 

    Am – C7 – D – Dm – G

 

   Am             G                D                                   Am                  

1.      You're only just a dreamboat, sailing in my head,

              G                     D                                     Am 

    you swim my secret oceans of coral blue and red.

                 G                     D                                         F

    Your smell is incense burning, your touch is silken yet,

                                          C                             F                 

    it reaches through my skin, moving from within,

                                   E

    it clutches at my breast.

 

                                 Am                               C7

But it's only when I sleep, I see you in my dreams,

                            D                                    Dm

got me spinning round and round, turning upside (down).

          G                     Am                                      C7

But I only hear you breathe, somewhere in my sleep,

                            D                                    Dm

got me spinning round and round, turning upside (down),

             G                Am

but it's only when I sleep.

 

                G                        D                                           Am

2. And when I wake from slumber, your shadow's disappeared,

                G                   D                                        Am

    your breath is just a sea mist surrounding my body.

            G                             D                                          F

    I'm working through the daytime but when it's time to rest,

                             C                               F                         

    I'm lying in my bed, listening to my breath,

                              E

    falling from the edge. 

 

                                 Am                               C7

But it's only when I sleep, I see you in my dreams,

                            D                                    Dm

got me spinning round and round, turning upside (down).
