Chords

[Intro] Dm Bb F Am7 Dm Bb F Am7 [Verse 1]
Dm                      Bb        F       Am7
  Shoot a dream in your arm and sleep away

Dm                              Bb                    F        Am7
  It's not the stuff that kills you that keeps your life at bay

Dm         Bb              F    Am7
  Every crash pulls you in reach

Dm                  Bb                 F               Am7
  Of a watershed of signal flares that cover your beach

Bb                          F
These are just placebos to make us feel all right

    C                             Dm
Illusions in our pockets make our feathers float us high

      Bb                         F
For a second I thought I saw your eyelids rise

  C
A moment something restless caught you by surprise
[Chorus]
Bb F

[Verse 2]
Dm    Bb      F       Am7
  We are so beautiful when we sleep

Dm                   Bb     F            Am7
  Hearts of gold and eyes so deep, deep, deep

Bb
But love won't cure the chaos

    F
And hope won't hide the loss

    C                                Dm
And peace is not the heroine that shouts above the cause

    Bb
And love is wild for reasons

    F
And hope though short in sight

      C
Might be the only thing that wakes you by surprise
[Chorus]
Bb F
Ise...

Eb   Bb   C
  Dream little one

Eb   Bb        C
  See the world just begun
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
Love is wild for reasons

F
Hope though short in sight

      Am7/E                  Dm
Might be the only thing that brings you back to life

       Bb                        F        C
For a moment I thought I saw your eyelids rise
