Verse 1AmGD
You're only just a dreamboat
Am
Sailing in my head

You swim my secret ocean

Of coral blue and red

Your smell is incense burning

Your touch is silken yet

It reaches through my skin
F
Moving from within
G
And clutches at my breast
ChorusAm
But it's only when I sleep
C
I see you in my dreams
D
Got me spinning round and round
DmG
Turning upside down
Am
But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep
D
Got me spinning round and round
DmG
Turning upside down
Am
But it's only when I sleep

Your breath is just a sea mist

Surrounding my body

I'm working through the daytime

But when it's time to rest

I'm lying in my bed

Listening to my breath
G
Falling from the edge
ChorusAm
But it's only when I sleep

I see you in my dreams

Got me spinning round and round

Got me spinning round and round

But it's only when I sleep

Yeah Yeah Yeah

But it's only when I sleep
