Okkervil River – And I Have Seen The World Of Dreams (Guitar)

    E               Bm
[tab]      D                                    A          E
fresh-flown through the trees then dropped off at the curb

 E                   Bm
alive, have seen the world awake,

    D                      E
and I don't know which I deserve.

   E                  Bm
So when sleep nightly comes to me,

     D                          A           E
with all of these warm blankets piled on my back,

     E               Bm
I'll hike to see the church of dreams,

      D                   E             A    E
where all of the shutters are painted black.

       A                 E             A       E
And it seems like that's real till the time I awake,

       Bm                       A             E
and at midnight the moonlight reflects as the lake

   A          E              A         E
is shining at me, till night takes it away.

            Bm                         A            E
There's one world in the distance, one world in the way,

    A           E
and not one can stay.

E               Bm
I have seen the wood of dreams,

       D                          A            E
carved grainless and clean with a sweep of one hand,

    E               Bm
and have been happy with the leaves

   D                       E
on my body when laid under land.

   E                  Bm
So when sleep finally comes to me -

          D                           A             E
'cause it comes for the sleek like it comes for the lame -

     E              Bm
I'll sink beneath a weight of dreams

   D                          E               A    E
so full and complete that I'm pushed from my name.

       A                 E          A       E
And it seems like that's real until I fall asleep,

        Bm                        A           E
then we load up the car and drive far to some street

        A         E               A         E
where a new life awaits, till day takes it away.

            Bm                         A            E
There's one world in the distance, one world in the way,

    A           E
and not one can stay.
