intro : Am – G

verse 1 :
Am G
someone said to me , “i’ll come into your dream and speak it to you” i already knew
Am
i found her in an attic where , dramatically
G Am
she leaned in to me , and she whispered these lines :
F G Dm Am G
“wake and be fine – E – E . you’ve still got time to wake and be fine”

verse 2 : use verse 1 chords
embracers meet with more embracers on the street
they say “hold me , dear stranger . grab on to me
we’re carrying our years around us , or they’re chasing down us .
we’re all here at the same time . can we wake and be fine?
have we still got time to wake and be fine??”

verse 3 chords :
Am G
villians on the creep and killers in the crowd are carving apart our childhood house
Am G
lovers in their sheets , dreaming lovers sweetly turn in their sleep all under sunbeams
Am G
everybody’s crashing , running , calling out the coming of things they kind of can see
Am G Am
someone said to me , “it’s just a dream . why don’t you wake up and you’ll see? it’s fine . ”

interlude : [ Am – G ] repeat a few times , then :

verse 4 chords :
Am G
in those miles racing over endless fields of snow ( you already heard , you already know )
Am
the rescue party finally lost their hearts , and then they shattered their bones
G
and then they died all alone
Am
the ships all float from beaches by themselves above the hot afternoons
G
( goodbye , you balloons! )
Am
adrift above indifferent clouds , our hearts are crashing loudly
G Am F G Dm
on some rock where the gulls whine , “wake and be fine – E – E
Am G
you’ve still got time to wake and be fine”

outro : [ Am – G ] repeat a few times , then end on : Am
