# From the album Watermark #
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:  C   Em   Am  C-G-C  
I took a walk around the Dmyard
Dug the flowers 'til it got too Emhard
Smoked my first pack of Amcigarettes today
Then I, I went Cdown, down to Lucy's old CaDmfe
Put a half a case aEmway
Took a sleeping pill and I Amtried to watch TV
But you know Fbaby the leading lady
EmLooked too much Dmlike you for the likes of meG  
CHORUS:
And, I woke up Amcrying Emin my Fsleep
I was Emtalking    Amto your DmpillowG  
And I reached Amout to tEmouch your FhandEm  
And knocked the Dmphone off the Amnightstand
And the Emoperator said, ("May I Fhelp you please?")
And I said, "DmNo thanks baby, toEmnight there is no help for Fme
I Gjust had a bad Cdream, that's Gall that's wrong with Fme
See, I Gjust had a bad Cdream"G  F  G  
CWent out to loosen up the Dmcar
Somehow I wound up at the rainbow Embar
I had a scotch and Amsoda on the run
But, I Fdidn't get too far
The I, then I ran Cdown, down some friends I used to Dmknow
I dragged them out to see the Emshow
I ran myself a bath and I Amtried to read your book
But you know Fbaby this time
It Emjust didn't seem quite worth all the Dmtime it tookG  
And, I woke up Amcrying Emin my Fsleep
I was Emtalking    Amto your DmpillowG  
And I reached Amout to Emtouch your FhandEm  
And knocked the Dmphone off the Amnightstand
And the Emoperator said, ("May I Fhelp you please?")
And I said, "DmNo thanks baby, toEmnight there is no help for Fme
You see, I Gjust had a bad, bad Cdream, that's Gall that's wrong with Fme
See, I Gjust had a bad CdreamG  Am  
You know, I Gjust had a bad Cdream"G  F  G

C Em Am C G C

INTRO: --

I took a walk around the yard

Dug the flowers 'til it got too hard

Smoked my first pack of cigarettes today

C Dm

Then I, I went down, down to Lucy's old Cafe

Put a half a case away

Took a sleeping pill and I tried to watch TV

But you know baby the leading lady

Em Dm G

Looked too much like you for the likes of me

CHORUS:

Am Em F

And, I woke up crying in my sleep

Em Am Dm G

I was talking to your pillow

And I reached out to touch your hand

Dm Am

And knocked the phone off the nightstand

Em F

And the operator said, ("May I help you please?")

G C G F

I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me

G C G F G

See, I just had a bad dream"

C Dm

Went out to loosen up the car

Somehow I wound up at the rainbow bar

I had a scotch and soda on the run

But, I didn't get too far

C Dm

The I, then I ran down, down some friends I used to know

I dragged them out to see the show

I ran myself a bath and I tried to read your book

But you know baby this time

Em Dm G

It just didn't seem quite worth all the time it took

Am Em F

And, I woke up crying in my sleep

Em Am Dm G

I was talking to your pillow

Am Em F Em

And I reached out to touch your hand

Dm Am

And knocked the phone off the nightstand
