C Fmaj7 I dreamt you seduced me just to walk away C Fmaj7 I dreamt you inspired then rewired what I say C Fmaj7 I dreamt you spread your bottom wings and pulled me to the bed C Fmaj7 But then I woke up feeling nauseous, you danced around my head Chorus: F G Am Tell me G F G Am How long, how long have I been down? G F G Am How long, how long have I been down? G How long, how long have I been down, down, down? I dreamt you burned my fingers, yes, an automatic sting I dreamt you called me beautiful, then asked to hear me sing I dreamt you sat, invited me to crawl within your space But then, I woke up feeling nauseous Girl, you danced around my face, tell me Chorus: How long, how long have you been down?
