[Verse]
E E7 A
When I woke, I was not awake
A B
Light from the sun felt so far away
E E7 A
I went up, with all of my strength
A B
Straight for the sun, from the depths I sprang
[Bridge]
A B7
And I drank from the sea
E A
But it opened up and swallowed me
A B7
So I sank down deep
E E7 A
Now I'm drunken like a seasick dream

In this dream,

Well when did all of the waves
A B
Roll right in and make me their slave
E E7 A
So I went so far away
A B
I didn't look back, I'll come back someday
[Bridge]
A B7
Mamma wept, and she weeped
E E7 A
She said horizon don't you take him from me
A B7
Black sails on the sea
E E7 A
Just carry me until I can be
Gdim B7
Awake, in this dream
