G
I dreamed I heard that you were dead

  Bm                          Em    G
I dreamed I searched an empty bed

           Em
For a sign of you

G       D
And the sea called hard to me

                      Em
Like a cell without a key

    D          C
And I felt the distance

D
I watched the tall ships go

         Em
With the drift wood on the flow

C
With pride that grows in hardship

    D
And I knew you were below
[Chorus]
G
I hear your voice

       Em            D
And it keeps me from sleeping

G                     Em
Why must it always be dreams

          D
When your voice comes to me

G
I dreamed you felt the typhoon spit

    Bm                       Em    G
And walked into the heart of it

              Em
While the seagulls cry

G      D
I know how to feel that call

                      Em
It never suited me at all

    D             C
But some are born to it

D
And you seemed so bright and hard

       Em
Like a bloody edge of sword

C
But if you're an enemy

     D
Then you look a lot like me
[Chorus]
G
I hear your voice

       Em            D
And it keeps me from sleeping

G                     Em
Why must it always be dreams

          D
When your voice comes to me

G
I dreamed you sailed me to the swamp

     Bm          Em
In a black boat

G                  Em
You spoke to me of things

G      D                           Em
Of the shame that years will bring

    D           C
And I felt your hand shake

D
Though you always seemed so hard

      Em
Now I never see the sword

C
And I find the enemy

    D
Has to feel the same as me
[Chorus]
G
I hear your voice

       Em            D
And it keeps me from sleeping

G                     Em
Why must it always be dreams

          D
When your voice comes to me
