Only

G

[verse]
          C
If it was only in our heads, only in
 our dreams
G
Nothing we ever spoke of, nothing 
evergreen
                           C
you know I dreamed we were hunted by
 lions, bursting for air

so we hid out in the brambles and 
played like we were dead
      G                            
never terrified of what that might 
D
mean

[chorus]
          Em                    
Why is it clinging to life, this 
 C                          G
longing that should now be dead?
         Em        D          
Why do I need you, feeling your 
              G
claws in my back?
           Em               C     
I've got a few ideas and an image 
             G
of you in my bed

[verse]
          C
If it was only a mirage, a hopeless 
scene
G
Nothing close to water, nothing so 
serene
                           C
you know I dreamed we were walking a
 wire across a ravine

locked in on each other and then I 
hear you scream
      G                       D
but I never saw you open your mouth

[chorus]
          Em                    
Why is it clinging to life, this 
 C                          G
longing that should now be dead?
         Em        D          
Why do I need you, feeling your 
              G
claws in my back?
           Em               C     
I've got a few ideas and an image 
             G
of you in my bed

[instrumental]
G    C     Em     D     G      

 Em     C      G

[verse]
          C
If it was only for the foolish, 
decision to careen
G
Nothing that you walk from, nothing 
so clean
                          C
you know I dreamed of the end of the
 world, that whole nightmare routine

I found you in the closet with your 
mother's old tureen
                 G                 
You said there's one fear I had not
    D
 confirmed

[final chorus]
          Em                    
Why is it clinging to life, this 
 C                          G
longing that should now be dead?
         Em        D          
Why do I need you, feeling your 
              G
claws in my back?
           Em               C     
I've got a few ideas and an image 
             G
of you in my bed
         Em                C      
I've got two ideas, and an image 
                   G
of your claws in my back
