                     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"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
"Why are you so far away?", she said
"Why won't you ever know that
I'm in love with you?
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

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
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
