intro : Bm , D , E , Em , A

Bm A E
you’re only just a dreamboat
Bm
sailing in my head
A E
you swim my secret ocean
Bm
of coral blue and red

A E
your smell is incense burning
G
your touch is silken yet
D
it reaches through my skin
G
moving from within
F# ( run )
and clutches at my breast

Bm
chorus : but it’s only when i sleep
D
i see you in my dreams
E
got me spinning round and round
Em A
turning upside down

Bm
but i only hear you breathe
D
somewhere in my sleep
E
got me spinning round and round
Em A
turning upside down

but it’s only when i sleep

Bm A E
and when i wake from slumber
Bm
your shadow’s disappeared
A E
your breath is just a sea mist
Bm
surrounding my body

A E
i’m working through the daytime
G
but when it’s time to rest
D
i’m lying in my bed
G
listening to my breath
F# ( run )
falling from the edge

( repeat chorus )

D
but it’s only when i sleep
D
yeah yeah yeah
D
yeah yeah yeah
F#
yeah yeah yeah
instrumental – same chords as the chorus

D
it’s reaching through my skin
G
moving from within
F# ( run )
and clutches at my breast . . . . . . . .

( chorus )
