Biography:
Relatively new and unknown to the music scene, Nightmare and the Cat are our favorite new indie-folk band.
Claire Acey and brothers Django and Samuel Stewart form the 3-piece band, whose Facebook bio states, “We are Nightmare and the Cat… and that is that.”
Fresh from the cult London music scene, they have soft vocals reminiscent of Jeff Buckley, an indie pop vibe like that of The Thrills or Vampire Weekend, and instrumental skills like only Arcade Fire can match.

[Verse 1] - (play intro x2)
G
Sarah woke me up
Em
Four in the morning, look at the stars and
G
What they are warning us
Em
Went through my head and over the mountains
G
I was in my bed
Em
My body sleeping with pins and needles
G
I never use my head
Em
What were you thinking? Well I’m just living
G Em
Free...
Where are you living
G Em
Free...
C Em
We live in our mouths and they aren’t so far apart
G Em
I built you this house in the hollow of my heart
C Em
You’re burning out and soon it will be dark
G B
My fuel is in your doubt, my fear is in your spark
G B
If you fly, I will fly
Em G B
If you fall, I will fall
C G Bm
If you swim, I will swim
Em G B
If you drown, I will drown
G B
If you fly, I will fly
Em G B
If you fall, I will fall
C G Bm
If you swim, I will swim
Em G B
If you drown, I will drown
[Instrumental]
G B E G Bm C G Bm Em G Bm C
[Bridge]
G
Since you've woke me up
Em
I’ve got to tell you, I felt so dead and
G
It really hit the spot
Em
Needed a slapping and now I’ve had one
G
Well since we’re both awake
Em
Why don’t we go out into the city
G
And watch the people make
Em
Every decision with tunnel-vision
G Em
Can’t see…
G Em
Oh no, they can’t see…
G
That they are dead like us
Em
Forever wanting, shamelessly haunting
G
Another pick-me-up
Em
And then you feel it, the pins and needles
G Em
You’re free…
G Em
Oh yeah, we’re all so free…
C Em
We live in our words and they aren’t so hard to say
G C#m
I built you this world and I can take this world away
C Em
With hurricanes of violent thoughts and floods of alcohol
G B
My sympathy lies with the fool who dwells within my skull…
G B
If you fly, I will fly
Em G B
If you fall, I will fall
C G Bm
If you swim, I will swim
Em G B
If you drown, I will drown
G B
If you pray, I will pray
Em G B
If you smile, I will smile
C G B
If you dance, I will dance
Em G B C D
If you sing, I will sing you a song about no one
G
And nothing at all
[Outro]
