[Verse]
AmI take decaf coEmffee
Two Amsugars and one Fmaj7cream
AmI don't see the Emuse in staying
Fmaj7up Just to watch tv
I Amunplug all the Emneon
Turn the Amringer off the Fmaj7phone
AmThrow my thoughts like Emtomahawks
Into this Fmaj7world which I disown
[Chorus]
Because the Ampillow that I Dmdream on
Is the Gthreshold of a Amkingdom
Is the threshDmold of a
Gworld Where I'm with Amyou
It's a Amdark and snowy Dmsecret
And it Ghas to do with Amheaven
And what Dmlooks like sleep
Is Greally hot purAmsuit
[Verse]
I hold your Ampicture in my Gmind
It makes me Amwarm when I'm Fmaj7cold
It Amgets me up, it Gmakes me walk
It makes me Dmquestion what I'm told
AmSomewhere in a foggy Gatlas
Lookout Ammountain, lookout Fmaj7sea
First Amlife takes time, then Gtime takes life
Now the Dmnext move's up to me
[Chorus]
Because the Ampillow that I Dmdream on
Leads to Gsome fantastic Amglory
It's a Dmthreshold of a Gworld
I can't igAmnore
Like Amtime on school from Dmheaven
Did you find me Gsleeping in your Amdoorway
Now I'm Dmhere for good
I won't Gleave you anyAmmore

Fmaj7

[Verse]

Am Em

I take decaf coffee

Am Fmaj7

Two sugars and one cream

Am Em

I don't see the use in staying

Fmaj7

up Just to watch tv

Am Em

I unplug all the neon

Am Fmaj7

Turn the ringer off the phone

Am Em

Throw my thoughts like tomahawks

Fmaj7

Into this world which I disown

[Chorus]

Am Dm

Because the pillow that I dream on

G Am

Is the threshold of a kingdom

Is the threshold of a

G Am

world Where I'm with you

Am Dm

It's a dark and snowy secret

G Am

And it has to do with heaven

And what looks like sleep

G Am

Is really hot pursuit

[Verse]

Am G

I hold your picture in my mind

Am Fmaj7

It makes me warm when I'm cold

Am G

It gets me up, it makes me walk

It makes me question what I'm told

Am G

Somewhere in a foggy atlas

Am Fmaj7

Lookout mountain, lookout sea

Am G

First life takes time, then time takes life

Now the next move's up to me

[Chorus]

Am Dm

Because the pillow that I dream on

G Am

Leads to some fantastic glory

Dm G

It's a threshold of a world

I can't ignore

Am Dm

Like time on school from heaven

G Am

Did you find me sleeping in your doorway

Now I'm here for good

G Am

I won't leave you anymore
