A5        D5               A5            D5
When the deep blue night is running close on your track
            A5                D5            A5             D5
And you can feel the green monkey crawlin' across your back
      A5         D5               A5             D5
Don't take me so real that you forget how to feel
              A5            D5               A5              D5
Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your heart into steel

[Chorus]
Em9                    A7
Smell the perfume of a silent dream
Em9                   A7
Fly the ocean, read a story to me
Em9                   A7
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
C N.C.
Speak to me

[Verse 2]
D5     A5              D5              A5               D5
So you think that star cluster shining bright in the sky
               A5           D5                A5
Will speak the fate of your evening, tell the truth to your lie
D5            A5             D5             A5
Don't let the features you read control the tickets you buy
D5          A5               D5              A5              D5
Soon as you learn that you live, you're just beginning to die

[Chorus]
Em9                    A7
Smell the perfume of a silent dream
Em9                   A7
Fly the ocean, read a story to me
Em9                   A7
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
C N.C.
Speak to me
