[Verse 1]
                   A               E            
"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
    Bm                D               
The one that makes me scream" she said
     A                 E              
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
    Bm              D            
And threw her arms around my neck
 A               E    
"Show me how you do it
      Bm             D           
And I promise you, I promise that
          A           E
I'll run away with you
          Bm           D
I'll run away with you"
[Instrumental] *
A  E  Bm  D  x4

[Verse 2]
A                E         
Spinning on that dizzy edge
  Bm                  D              
I kissed her face and kissed her head
    A                  E             
And dreamed of all the different ways
  Bm              D   
I had to make her glow
 A              E               Bm 
"Why are you so far away?" she said
               D                     A            E
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
            Bm            D
That I'm in love with you"

[Chorus]
F#m
You
G            
Soft and only
F#m
You
G              
Lost and lonely
F#m
You
G                
Strange as angels
D                            
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
                   A    E
You're just like a dream
                   Bm   D
You're just like a dream

[Instrumental]
A  E  Bm  D  x3

[Verse 3]
A                  E         
Daylight licked me into shape
  Bm              D             
I must have been asleep for days
    A              E               
And moving lips to breathe her name
  Bm           D   
I opened up my eyes
    A             E          
And found myself alone, alone
 Bm           D         
Alone above a raging sea
     A              E           
That stole the only girl I loved
    Bm                 D         
And drowned her deep inside of me

[Chorus]
F#m
You
G            
Soft and only
F#m
You
G              
Lost and lonely
F#m
You
G               D
Just like heaven
