Only A Dream

G       D             C         
I can recall the sound of the 
    G
wind
C            G                 C
As it blew through the trees and
                  D
 the trees would bend
G      D             C             G
I can recall the smell of the rain
C                  G
On a hot summer night
C                       D
Coming through the screen
Am                F#7       
I'd crawl in your bed when the 
    D7         Em7
lightning flashed
C                 Bm7        
And I'd still be there when the 
    C           D
storm had passed
G             D             C   
Dead to the world, to the 
    G
morning cast
C               D           G
Its light all around your room

G             D             C   
We lived on a street where the 
          G
tall elm shade
C                    G           
Was as green as the grass and as 
C           D
cool as a blade
G                  D             
That you held in your teeth as we
C             G
 lay on our backs
C                 G             
Staring up at the blue and the 
C           D
blue stared back
Am         F#7             D7   
I used to believe we were just 
            Em7
like those trees
C                  Bm7          
We'd grown just as tall and as 
C            D
proud as we pleased
G             D             C   
With our feet on the ground and 
          G
our arms in the breeze
C        D          G
Under a sheltering sky

[Chorus]
Am       F#7         D7        Em7
Twirl me about, and twirl me around
C            Bm7       C        
Let me grow dizzy and fall to 
    D
the ground
G             D        C        
And when I look up at you 
     G
looking down,
C        D          G
Say it was only a dream

[Verse]
G              D             C  
A big truck was parked in the 
           G
drive one day
C                  G           C
They wrapped us in paper and 
        D
moved us away
G               D             C 
Your room was no longer next 
      G
door to mine
C               G       C       
And this kid sister thing was 
        D
old by that time
Am           F#7             D7 
But oh how our dreams went bump 
         Em7
in the night
C               Bm7         C   
And the voices downstairs 
          D
getting into a fight
G                   D            
And the next day a silence you 
    C             G
could cut with a knife
C               D                
And feel like a blade at your 
   G
throat

[Chorus]
Am       F#7         D7        Em7
Twirl me about, and twirl me around
C            Bm7       C        
Let me grow dizzy and fall to 
    D
the ground
G             D        C        
And when I look up at you 
     G
looking down,
C        D          G
Say it was only a dream

[Verse]
G              D          C     
The day you left home you got an
        G
 early start
C             G         C       
I watched your car back out in 
    D
the dark
G             D             C   
I opened the door to your room 
          G
down the hall
C                G
I turned on the light
C               D
And all that I saw
Am             F#7       D7     
Was a bed and a desk and couple 
     Em7
of tacks
C           Bm7          C      
No sign of someone who expects 
      D
to be back
G                  D         
It must have been one hell of a 
    C             G
suitcase you packed

[Chorus]
Am       F#7         D7        Em7
Twirl me about, and twirl me around
C            Bm7       C        
Let me grow dizzy and fall to 
    D
the ground
G             D        C        
And when I look up at you 
     G
looking down,
C        D          G
Say it was only a dream
