[VERSE]
Dm                           G5
A bad dream shook me in my sleep

Am7                  Dm
And I woke up sweating.

Dm                           G5
Ran through the dark to the shower,

A#5                     A
Already forgetting.

Dm                      G5
Tried to think good thoughts.

Am7                     Dmin
Trying to find my way clear.

Dm                          G5
Let the room fill with steam,

A#5                          A
Traced pictures on the mirror.
[CHORUS]
G5           A         
Ghosts and clouds       

Dm             C5
and nameless things.

Dm                              G5        
Squint your eyes and hope real hard,

Am7             Dm 
Maybe sprout wings.

[VERSE]
Dm                                    G5
I clawed my way to the living room window,

Am7                     Dmin
Stood there in the cold.

                                G5
The last bits of my dream like figures in the distance,

A#5     A
Hard to hold.

                   Dmin
I thought of old friends,

                      G5
The ones who'd gone missing like you

Am7                             Dmin
Said all their names three times.

                G5
Phantoms in the early dark,

A#5             A
Canaries in the mines.
[CHORUS]
G5           A         
Ghosts and clouds       

Dm             C5
and nameless things.

Dm                              G5        
Squint your eyes and hope real hard,

Am7             Dm 
Maybe sprout wings
