Black Current

C                        Am
Last night I dreamt that I was a bird
     C          G              Am
Lift with the wind, long black wings would unfold
           C               G           Am           E
But when I dared to look down to the ground, to the ground

[Chorus]
A         Dm
I felt my bones grow
A          Dm
Heavy and cold, oh oh
A        Dm
Why do I shake so?
A        Dm   Am
I cannot fall

[Verse 2]
Am                               Dm
Last night I dreamt that I was a house
       Am                       Dm
Flames leapt from the stove and licked at the walls
  Am
I screamed from my windows 'Get out, oh get out, I'll explode!'

[Chorus]
A        Dm
I am not safe
A            Dm
Pull me from Kansas
A           Dm           A          Dm
Why do they think I look safe and secure?

[Verse 3]
C              G           Am
Last night you dreamt that I was a bird
C           G              Am
The whitest feathers and I soared
F                        Am             G
I don't want to hurt the faith you have put
       F                                   Am     G
But if you could reserve it 'till at least I have stood

[Verse 4]
A7                     Bb
Last night I dreamt of black current, river of voices
A7                Bb
Sink below; it forgives all my choices
           A7                     Bb           Em
But when I dare to look on to the sea, to the Ocean

[Chorus]
A         Dm
I feel my limbs shrink
A       Dm
Into my fins and I think
   A                 Dm
If I could just swim from
A                 Dm    Am
The lights of the shore

[Bridge]
Am         Bm      G      Am     Dm       E7
Last night I dreamt I was deep inside the mouth of a monster
      Am    Bm        G
Green paper filled my breast
    Am
And I woke to breathe
Am
Sat up for to free myself
    E7
And there you were
E7
Just standing there

[Otro]
  Am           C G
I don't know if  I can do this
        Am       F
There's too many dangers
    G
You might burn for me
    C           G       Am
For last night I dreamt you dreamt
     F              Am
That I was a bird
