General Notes:
Tuned from low to high as GCDGCD. Adapted from an Adam Franklin acoustic live bootleg
The Fez, NY City). Standard 4/4 time. Adam sings the intro guitar solo that is normally
with the wah pedal.

Chord Diagrams:

Because of the alternate tuning, I will show the chord diagrams for the chords used in
song, and give them somewhat arbitrary names. Note that some chords are high up the neck.
have indicated in bold the fret number at the top of the chord diagram whenever it is
the end of the neck.

Intro:

Strum the chords as follows, one bar each for the first two chords in each line, then
bars for the last chord in each line.

Bb G# C4 (repeat this chord for 3 bars)

Verses:

Note that the strumming pattern from above continues the same exact way, i.e. the G# and
chords are strummed for two bars.

And when the dawn begins to creep,

Sunlight finds you in a heap,

And how you wish that you could sleep,

Forget the lies that you?ve been told,

Think you?re setting free your soul,

But you?re really getting old.

You?ve dreamt of divin? in the sea,

Your outstretched hand in front of me,

And how you wished that you could breathe.

In the grip of ecstasy,

When the shadows follow me,

And the night won?t set you free.

You wish someone could love you less,

G# (this is just one bar)
Longing for that one caress,

I see you sink under Duress.

Outro:

Play the C4 chord for three bars, then in this version of the song, Adam sings some
lyrics over the C4 chord, I am not 100% sure, but I believe that they go like this:

Don?t let me hear your safe life
takin? you over, Angel

On ?Angel? it switches to the Bb chord, and Adam plays the entire into section again to
the song, finishing on the C4 chord.

General Notes:
Standard Tuning. Adapted from a live bootleg of Adam playing acoustic guitar
Copenhagen). Standard 4/4 time. For the Copenhagen version, Adam uses a Capo on the 2nd fret, but
another live acoustic version he does not use a Capo, so your choice.

Intro:

Repeat the below pattern once without singing, and then sing the rest of the lines.
Em rep. 5X

ice cold stare and said I?ve been having those dreams again

Every verse is basically played the same, but sometimes Adam throws in a C chord for the
two beats of the 1st or 2nd line of each verse, instead of just the Em riff. He also
an extra bar of the Em riff after some of the verses. I have indicated this below.

In one dream there’s this girl I love

And we dance every wakin’ breath

And in the other they’ve thrown me in a cell

C Em X2
And they’re tryin’ me for her death

I’m only young and young in love

As I hold that girl today

But I’m old and tired and in the cell

C Em X2
And I’ve nigh on withered away

Bridge:

Play the intro again, but skip the first time through, so you only play it 4X, all with
?Ooh?s. Note that the first words of the next verse below (?Y?see my?) fall on the last
and a half of the bridge.

Verse:

Y’see my baby’ gone away too long

And I’m chokin’ back the tears

Disheveled star in a burnt out bar
And I’m talkin’ in my drink

She promised me the world and more

How could she do this to me?

And now mine’s tumblin’ down around

But at least my eyes can see, And those

C C Em X2
stars in the sky are for me

Note that for this one version of the verse, there is an extra line, which contains two
of the C chord.

So as this fagged-out tinsel town

Waves so-long to the sun

I lay here calmly on my bed

And the trigger of my gun

And should that no good woman show up

Dancin’ from a dream

I’ll squeeze it twice and not think twice

And relish every scream

Outro:

On the last line of the last verse, Adam sings ?scream? an octave higher, and moves
into the falsetto ?Ooh?s like in the Intro. ?Scream? replaces the first ?Ooh ooh?, so it
like this:

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
Scre- eam oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
Ooh oo-ooh
Ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh

Gradually slow down the last few bars until the end.
