Em             Em7/D            Cmaj7            Em/B
It seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realize that it was you who held me under

Em7/B          Am9                    Cmaj7                Em7
Felt it in my fists in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Dsus2               Am9                         Cmaj7          Em7
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs

Chorus:
Dsus2                    Em7       Em7/D              Cmaj7
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
Em7/B                   Em7                 Em7/D          Cmaj7
No more calling like a crow for a boy for a body in the garden
Em7/B                    Em7
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
Em7/D                   Cmaj7
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so love
Em7/B                    Em7         Em7/D              Cmaj7 Em7/B
No more dreaming like a girl, so in love with the wrong world

And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack
All around the world was waking, I never could go back
Because all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open
And finally it seemed that the spell was broken

And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open

Chorus

Am                     C6              F
Snow White’s stitching up the circuit boards
         Dm7                        Cmaj7
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
              Em7/B                    Em
Snow White’s stitching up the circuit boards

Chorus

Snow White's stitching up your circuit-boards
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
Snow White's stitching up your circuit-board
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
