D
It was a dream; we had to wake from it eventually
Bm
We went around the world, riding the ships,
C
As if they were horses.
D
I wish I had collected tea towels
D
At least then I've had something useful to
Bm C D
Remind me of all the places I might never get to
A
Go back to
D Bm
You know that I don't need the world
Em A D
To be any more complicated than it already is
Bm Em
After the things that we have been through,
A G
I'm just amazed that we still exist
A D Bm
And I will find comfort in destroying things
G A D
And if you can be happy with me,
A D
I'll be happy to be myself
D
Alone with my thoughts,
I don't want to think like this any more
Bm
I wish that I could just empty my brain
C D
And fill it up with happy thoughts again,
A
For a change
