Only when you sleep
G
Baby it's just a dream that's keeping you awake
Bm
It's just a dream that's making you shake
Am Cm
It's just a dream and soon it'll be gone
You think you control it
What you don't really know is
That it's controlling you
The fear of leaving and
the nightmare of sleeping
Not all your dreams come true
Chorus:
Cm G Bm Am
It's only when you sleep when you sleep it
C
all goes wrong
G Bm Am
It's only when you sleep when you sleep it
C Cm
all goes wrong
In a moment of weakness
You try to resolve
this feeling you can't explain
Then you notice it's not what you wanted
You're driving yourself insane
Chorus
It's only when you sleep it's only when you sleep
I could hold you I could save you yeah
I could keep you from harm
Cause she sleeps in a bad dream
And she wakes in a movie scene
next to one who cares
Chorus
Cause she thinks she controls it she thinks
she knows it
It's just a dream just a lonely dream and
then you wake
You can simplify chords by removing barre
