i keep having

dreams of pioneers and pirate ships and bob dylan
Csus4 Csus2 C
of people wrapped up tight in the thing that’ll kill them
Csus4 Csus2 C
of being trapped in a lift plunging straight to the bottom
Csus4 Csus2 Am
of open seas and ways of life we’ve forgotten

i keep having dreams
Am F
amy worked in a bar in exeter
G Am
i went back to her house and i slept beside her
Am F
she woke up screaming in the middle of the night
G Am
terrified of her own insides
Am F
dreams of pirate ships and patty hearst
G Am
breaking through a life of a rehearse
Am F
she can’t remember which came first
G Am
the house the home or the terrible thirst
G
she keeps having dreams
F G
and on the worst days
G C F
when it feels like life weighs ten thousand tonnes
F G C
she’s got her cowboy boots and her keys on the bed stand
F
so she can always run
F
she could get up and shower in half an hour
F Am
she’d be gone
Am F
i keep having dreams of things i need to do
G Am
of waking up and not following through
Am F
it feels like i haven’t slept at all
G Am
when i wake to a silence and she’s facing the wall
Am F
posters of dylan and hemingway
G Am
an antique cupboard . . . sailor’s escape ( ? )
Am F
she says you just can’t live this way
G Am
i close my eyes and never say
G
i’m still having dreams
F G
and on the worst days
G C F
when it feels like life weighs ten thousand tonnes
F G C
i sleep with my passport , one eye on the back door
F
so i can always run
Fm
i could get up and shower in half an hour
Am
i’d be gone
Am
and come morning i Am disappeared
C G
just an imprint on the bed sheets
Dm Am
and by the roadside with my thumb out
C G
a car pulls up and bob’s driving
Dm Am
so i climb in we don’t say a word
C G
as we pull off into the sunrise
Dm Am
and these rivers of tarmac
C G
are like arteries ’cross the country
Dm
we are blood cells
Am
alive in
C
the blood stream
G
and the beating heart of the country
Dm Am
we are electric pulses
C G
in pathways of the sleeping soul of the country
Dm Am
we are electric pulses
C G
in pathways of the sleeping soul of the country
Dm
we are electric
Am C
in the sleeping soul of the country
