Chords

[Verse]
Am             Em
I take decaf coffee

    Am             Fmaj7
Two sugars and one cream

Am              Em
I don't see the use in staying

Fmaj7
up Just to watch tv

  Am             Em
I unplug all the neon

         Am             Fmaj7
Turn the ringer off the phone

Am                     Em
Throw my thoughts like tomahawks

          Fmaj7
Into this world which I disown
[Chorus]
            Am            Dm
Because the pillow that I dream on

       G              Am
Is the threshold of a kingdom

             Dm
Is the threshold of a

G                    Am
world Where I'm with you

       Am             Dm
It's a dark and snowy secret

       G              Am
And it has to do with heaven

         Dm
And what looks like sleep

   G             Am
Is really hot pursuit
[Verse]
            Am            G
I hold your picture in my mind

            Am            Fmaj7
It makes me warm when I'm cold

   Am             G       
It gets me up, it makes me walk

            Dm
It makes me question what I'm told

Am                   G
Somewhere in a foggy atlas

        Am                Fmaj7
Lookout mountain, lookout sea

      Am                    G
First life takes time, then time takes life

        Dm
Now the next move's up to me
[Chorus]
            Am            Dm
Because the pillow that I dream on

         G              Am
Leads to some fantastic glory

       Dm             G
It's a threshold of a world

          Am
I can't ignore

     Am                  Dm
Like time on school from heaven

                G                Am
Did you find me sleeping in your doorway

        Dm
Now I'm here for good

        G            Am
I won't leave you anymore
