Chords

[Verse 1]
C                                F
I took a trip away from life all by myself

C                             F
Not my style, but I was being someone else

    Dm             E                Am                   D
The day arrived, a lonely walk as I find my seat upon the plane

C                                  F
Switched between some dull movies I couldn't stand

C                               F
As we shake, I close my eyes, I grip the chair

    Dm                E                  Am                        D
And while it lands my head expands and I think it's gonna split in two

Dm           G  C/G
False alarm, I knew
[Chorus]
      C/G            G#aug      Am
In my dream you came running to me

              Edim/A#
And then fall back into my arms

      F  F#dim
Wake up

      G
Let's eat
[Verse 2]
C                                      F
Crowded trains, cement, and cats' eyes after dark

C                                         F
Who'd have thought a square bagel's where it would start?

  Dm               E                   Am                        D
I needed this from someone kind, but I never thought it would be you

C                                   F
You're my guide, my help, my hand into this town

C                              F
Could you tell I really wanted you around? (Across the pond)

    Dm               E                        Am                         D
And did you know how sweet you looked when we sang that song at Winnie's place? (Place)

Dm  G              C/G C/A C/B C C/D C/E C/G
    I was doing it like May
[Chorus]
      C/G              G#aug    Am
In my dream you came running to me

              Edim/A#
And then fall back into my arms

      F  F#dim
Wake up

      G
Let's eat
[Bridge]
   C                                     F
On our last night, we watched a film and had a cry

    C                   F
How could I be ready to say goodbye?

    Dm                     E                  Am           Am/G  D
And just like that, you're in my mind, you're back into my arms again

Dm        G        C/G
My across the pond friend
[Chorus]
      C/G              G#aug    Am
In my dream you came running to me

              Edim/A#
And then fall back into my arms

      F  F#dim
Wake up

      G
Let's eat
C G#aug D A#aug/F# C
