   [Verse 1]

G
I dreamed I heard that you were dead
  Bm                          Em    G
I dreamed I searched an empty bed
           Em
For a sign of you
G       D
And the sea called hard to me
                      Em
Like a cell without a key
    D          C
And I felt the distance
D
I watched the tall ships go
         Em
With the drift wood on the flow
C
With pride that grows in hardship
    D
And I knew you were below


   [Chorus]

G
I hear your voice
       Em            D
And it keeps me from sleeping
G                     Em
Why must it always be dreams

          D
When your voice comes to me

   [Verse 2]

G
I dreamed you felt the typhoon spit
    Bm                       Em    G
And walked into the heart of it
              Em
While the seagulls cry
G      D
I know how to feel that call
                      Em
It never suited me at all
    D             C
But some are born to it
D
And you seemed so bright and hard
       Em
Like a bloody edge of sword
C
But if you're an enemy
     D
Then you look a lot like me


   [Chorus]

G
I hear your voice
       Em            D
And it keeps me from sleeping
G                     Em
Why must it always be dreams
          D
When your voice comes to me

   [Verse 3]

G
I dreamed you sailed me to the swamp
     Bm          Em
In a black boat
G                  Em
You spoke to me of things
G      D                           Em
Of the shame that years will bring
    D           C
And I felt your hand shake
D
Though you always seemed so hard
      Em
Now I never see the sword
C
And I find the enemy
    D
Has to feel the same as me


   [Chorus]

G
I hear your voice
       Em            D
And it keeps me from sleeping
G                     Em
Why must it always be dreams
          D
When your voice comes to me
