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
[Outro]
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
