verse 1 
Bb 
Celebrate the passing drugs 
                Gm 
Put them on the back seat while 

They're coursing in your blood 

Bb 
Cause there are monsters oh 
             Gm 
Walking down Argyle Street 

Where the evening colors go (it's true) 

Eb       Cm                  D 
I had a dream that you were leaving 
     Bb                          Gm 
It's hard to be a lover when the TV's on 
    F 
And nothing is in your eyes 
Eb       Cm                  D 
I had a dream that you were leaving 
      Bb                        Gm 
Where every atom falling in the universe 
    F 
Is passing through our lives 

verse 2 
Press yourself to me right now 
Push yourself deep down now 
To the dark hills I must go 
Where the shadows hide 
Waiting for the final call 
It's coming down the line 

Chorus x2 

I had a dream that you were leaving 
I had a dream that you were leaving
