Em                   Dsus2 
 
I linger in the doorway, 
 
       Em                                                    Dsus2 
Of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name, 
 
              Em                                          Dsus2 
Let me stay where the wind will whisper to me, 
 
                  Em                                          Dsus2 
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story. 
 
  
 
Chorus: 
 
Em                          C 
In my field of paper flowers, 
 
Em                       C 
And candy clouds of lullaby. 
 
Em                            C       D 
I lie inside myself for hours, 
 
         Em                                    C 
And watch my purple sky fly over me. 
 
  
 
Em                         Dsus2 
Don't say I'm out of touch 
 
               Em                             Dsus2 
With this rampant chaos - your reality 
 
             Em                                              Dsus2 
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge 
 
                 Em                                         Dsus2 
The nightmare I built my own world to escape 
 
Chorus  
 
 
 
/ B - - - / B  B/A  B/G  B/F# / 
 
  
 
Em                          
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming 
 
Dsus2                                           Em     Dsus2 
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights 
 
Em 
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming 
 
Dsus2                              Em     Dsus2 
The Goddess of imaginary light 
 
  
 
Chorus  
 
Outro:  / Em - - - / - - - - / C - - - / - - - - / (x4)
