VERSE:

F                   D                 G                     Eb
Dreamed I was a fireman                  I just smoked and watched you burn

F                     D               G                         Eb
Dreamed I was an astronaut               I shot you down like a juggernaut

F                           D         G                 Eb
Dreamed we were still going out          Had that one a few times now 

F                       D  
Woke up to find we were not

     G       F   Eb
It's good to be awake



[  main riff again, then 2nd verse  ]



CHORUS:

   A#        F            Eb
If you could hear     the dreams I've had my dear

A#                     C               Eb
  They would give you nightmares for a week

    A#         F            Eb
But you're not here     and I can never sleep

A#             C          Eb
  Come home so I can be a creep



[  intro riff, then 3rd verse, then chorus   ]



MIDDLE PART:


A#          G             F           Eb
 Maybe I'm obsessive    To think like this
 
A#              C                 F        Eb 
 Probably not impressing you with my cheap tricks

A#            G                 F                  Eb 
 Honey it's depressing what     depression does to some

A#                      C
 I'll play the part for hours but 

   G           F     Eb
 I know you'll never come      (awesome vocal harmony here by the way...)





[    chorus, then end on a an A# chord   ]
