Intro

[Verse 1]
B5 E5 B5 E5
When the deep blue night is running close on your track
B5 E5 B5 E5
And you can feel the green monkey crawlin' across your back
B5 E5 B5 E5
Don't take me so real that you forget how to feel
B5 E5 B5 E5
Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your heart into steel
[Chorus]
F#m9 B7
Smell the perfume of a silent dream
F#m9 B7
Fly the ocean, read a story to me
F#m9 B7
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
D N.C.
Speak to me

So you think that star cluster shining bright in the sky
B5 E5 B5
Will speak the fate of your evening, tell the truth to your lie
E5 B5 E5 B5
Don't let the features you read control the tickets you buy
E5 B5 E5 B5 E5
Soon as you learn that you live, you're just beginning to die
[Chorus]

Smell the perfume of a silent dream

Fly the ocean, read a story to me

Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
