Verse 1:
E
I've dreamed about this,
              G
Sixteen days away
            C
Now youre here,
B           A   E
And my head lies
Besides your body,

Pillowed under mine

You were poison,

Spinning round my mind

Welcome to my world she said,

It's all a bad dream

Not to mention four or five
E              G
Welcome to my world she said,

Do you feel alive she said
It's all a bad dream
