CEmG
Riff for every time it goes from Am to G
Riff for the "I wont lay my body down" parts
AmEmG
In some live videos I've seen he sometimes does variations for the C chord
EmAnd so nCow, now that you reGalize
That planets are spCheres with oil on the insGide
And your gCod is only a cataGpult
Waiting for the riCght time to let you gGo
Into the unkCnown just to waGtch you hold your breG/Cath
Yeah and surrAmender your fortrGess
EmAnd your thoughCts will tumble like rockGs do
Over the valCleys of factory oceGans
The TurCkish carpets are flapping
As the wiGnd drops you dowAmn to the surGface
Yeah when you're lAmooking for your swGeet heart
EmAnd yoCu're, you're the kGind to hide your eyCes from the sGun
And in your woCrld the strong surGvive
AmBut I won't layEm my body dowGn
EmLet me tellC you, your arms are like bouGlders
And your shoulders are cliCffs, but your head keeps rollingG off
And your spine it is weCak from the weight on your shouGlders
And from diffeAmrence of opiGnion
EmThere is a soCng you hear on the raGdio
It's a funeral mCarch so you change the chaGnnel
But it's all you hCear as you're driving up the 1G01
From MCexico to CaliGfornia
Yeah thAmere's no snGow when you're looAmking for your sweet heGart
TAmhere's no snGow when you're lookAming for your answGers
EmYeah youC're, you're the kiGnd to hide your eCyes from the sGun
And in your woCrld the strong surGvive
AmBut I won't Emlay my body doGwn
EmYeah by the tCime they get your letGter of explaCnation
You'll be deGad and gone
Barking up a nCew tree and eyeing up some nGew friends
And scaring off the fCamilies while tidying up your looGse ends
Chasing squirCrels around your proGperty
Making sure that they kCnow that this is your kinGgdom
And noAmthing will sGtop it, yeah notAmhing will stoGp it
If notAmhing can sGtop it, yeah Amnothing will stGop it
EmAnd youC're, you're the kiGnd to hide your eyCes from the sGun
And in your woCrld the strong surGvive
BuAmt won't yoEmu lay your body doGwn
EmYes and nCow, now's the tiGme to wrap your eaCrs
Around the souGnds of your traCin coming rouGnd
But AmyouEm doCn'Gt have to lay everything down

Closer on Lost In The Dream (2014). Fantastic song.
The Fmaj7, F and Csus4 are probably all played interchangeably.
The record plays in the key of C#, but I'm pretty sure they played
it in D last night when I saw them live.

Am It was back in Little Bend that I saw Gyou
Light was changing on the Amwater
Where birds above it Gflown
Am There was pain in your eyes
So you Gvanished in the night
Missouri River in the Amdistance
So I lied upon the Glawn
D I remember walking against the Gdarkness of the beach
D Love is like a ghost in the Gdistance, ever-reached
D Travel through the night beGcause there is no fear
CAlone but right behind
D until I watched you Gdisappear
I'm moving through the Amdark
Of a long black Gnight
Just moving with the Ammoon
And the light it Gshines
And I'm thinking of a Amplace
And it feels so very Greal
Just moving through the Amdark

Am Once I had a dream I was Gfalling from the sky
Coming down like running Amwater
Passing by myself Galight
Am In the morning, I would wake to the Gsound of summer falls
Like little whispers through the Amsigns

I'm moving through the Amdark
Of a long black Gnight
I'm looking at the Ammoon
And the light it Gshines

Yeah, there's a Emdarkness over Dthere, but we ain't Cgoing

GSee it through through my eyes
Walk me to the water
AmHold my hand and something turns to me
GLove me every night
Drown me in the water
AmHold my hand and there's something turning me
GSee it through my eyes
Love me like no other
AmAnd hold my hand and something turns to Emme
And turns me into Gyou

CMy barricades feel open now
So I leFmaj7ave behind the Cbridge
With a flag with a western wave and a Fmaj7simple stitch tCo fix
I'll hold myself together now as you taFmaj7ke me through the Cditch
CWhere the sky crumbled on the floors
CYou'll sweep me off of my back
You'll savFmaj7e me from the rumCble you spoke oFmaj7f before
And the onCe who saved yoFmaj7u
Ain't theC one who you were Fmaj7banking on
When your hiCghs were cuttiGng through my Clows
CEnter through the side door please
I know Fmaj7you wish to speak wiCth me
Of old neglected promises
Of sFmaj7tolen souvenCirs
How you could hear the ocean
But you couFmaj7ld not see the bCreeze
When the sky was setting on a Buenos Aires beach
And the sun was shinFmaj7ing on the oCne I wiFmaj7sh to see
And the fCates are Fmaj7shifting undeCr land
You're beatinFmaj7g on the floorsC
You're sleFmaj7eping on the same Cones you've beenFmaj7 sweeping on
You're the Cone that saved Fmaj7me
And the onCe that I was banFmaj7king on
When your highsC were cutting Gthrough my lowCs
So hold mFmaj7e up against the tree
YGou used to measure me in feet
And seCt yourFmaj7 sights to greCen
And Fmaj7all the cross-town boys and on
GThey show up with the sea shells in their eyeCs
BuFmaj7t you know what theCy want
Fmaj7By the glow of your skin
And you can overdress for him
But it will soon grow oldC Fmaj7
CAnd this winter it came toFmaj7 pass
CSo much slower than the laFmaj7st
CAnd now there's nothing Fmaj7left to grasp
GIn our hands and nothing left to catch
So they'll Cspeak of the pFmaj7ast
In the futuCre perfect tenFmaj7se
Of places we will go
Before we grow oldC Fmaj7
