Verse 

Em           D                C               Bm 
Seems that I have been held in some dreaming state 
Em                D            C            Bm 
A tourist in the waking world never quite awake 
Em                 D            C               Bm 
No kiss no gentle word could wake me from this slumber 
Em               D          C               Bm 
Until I realize that it was you who held me under 
              Em                       D             C       Bm 
Felt it in my fist in my feet in the hollows of my eyelids 
                   Em                         D                C     Bm 
Shaking through my skull through my spine and down through my ribs 


Bm                      Em                 D         C     Bm 
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone 
                       Em                    D              C     Bm 
No more calling like a crow for a boy for a body in the garden 
                        Em                      D 
No more dreaming like a girl so in love so in love 
                        C                      Bm 
No more dreaming like a girl so in love so in love 
                        Em          D                  C     Bm 
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

Synapse slipping through the hidden door
