Em    G    Bm    A  x2

[Verse 1]

Em       G    Bm     A

Broken sleep, all too human

  Em   G       Bm     A

A malady, it's gazing through when I would

Em                G

Dream me a dream (soft as a pillow)

Bm                A

Dream me a dream (dream me a dream)

Em                G

Dream me a dream (till the morning will follow)

Bm                A

Dream me a dream (dream me a dream)

Em          G    Bm     A

Shapes of smoke, all too human

Em     G  Bm      A

  They grow, like titans

 

Em    G    Bm    A  x2

 

[Chorus]

Em      G             C       Am

I would like to fall, silence every call

   Em      G   C Am

If I could fall, fall

Em      G             C       Am

I would like to fall, silence every call

   Em      G     C       Am

If I could fall, I would like to fall

 

Em    G    C    Am  x2

 

Em

 

[Verse 2]

Em       G      Bm   A       Em

Twisted rope, defies all I know

    G Bm     A

It holds, my reason

Em                G

Dream me a dream (soft as a pillow)

Bm                A

Dream me a dream (dream me a dream)

Em                G

Dream me a dream (till the morning will follow)

Bm                A

Dream me a dream (dream me a dream)

Em       G    Bm   A

Sea of trees, calling humans

   Em         G Bm           A

To hang like leaves from the willow

 

Em    G    Bm    A  x2

 

 

[Chorus]

Em      G             C       Am

I would like to fall, silence every call

   Em      G   C Am

If I could fall, fall

Em      G             C       Am

I would like to fall, silence every call

   Em      G     C       Am

If I could fall, I would like to fall

 

Em    G

 

C       Am    Em G    C   Am

Take my word for  it, for it

        Em  G        C    Am      Em  G

In the dark, in the dark, in the dark

        C   Am

In the dark words can follow
