Misc Originals – Christopher Blue - Falling Asleep (Guitar)

             G
Well, last night I had a dream

             Em
that you and I were seventeen

         Am
I got drunk and started dancing with

    D
a pebble in my shoe.

        G
and I grabbed and pulled you close

              Em
and said I'd never let you go

       Am
she replied, that "when we both grow old,

       D
I'll still remember you."

           G
And your breath, it smelled like whiskey,

          D
but her mouth tasted like lint.

          Am
was in a lip-lock with the pillow,

         D
and I damn near fell out of bed, oh

    C
if you could see me now,

         D
I'm not sure what you would say;

           G
I didn't know that you were joking-

          Em
but I'm glad that you're still laughing

      Am
The truth is I'm concerned,

             D
that I'm not really all that sane,

                  G
now that you're gone.

           G
Well, last night I had a dream

             Em
that you and I were seventeen

         Am
we got drunk and started dancing,

        D
with a backdrop of the moon.

        G
And I promised you the world,

              Em
but then you asked about the moon.

       Am
So I promised you I'd pull it close

         D
and I'd give you that one too,

       C
and she smiled at me slow, and said

      D
"Well now, is that the truth?"

          G
I didn't know that you were jokin',

          Em
But I'm glad that you're still laughin'

     Am
The truth is I'm concerned,

       D
I won't ever be the same

                G
Now that you're gone.

   G   Fm  Em
Falling asleep,

          Am
with the embers of

D                    G
what we used to be.

G   Fm   Em
Falling asleep,

         Am        D
with a worthwhile dream.
