Intro
D#5 G#5/D# D#5 G#5/D# x3
[Verse 1]
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
When the deep blue night is running close on your track
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
And you can feel the green monkey crawlin' across your back
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
Don't take me so real that you forget how to feel
D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your heart into steel
[Chorus]
A#m9 D#7
Smell the perfume of a silent dream
A#m9 D#7
Fly the ocean, read a story to me
A#m9 D#7
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
F# N.C.
Speak to me
[Interlue]

[Verse 2]
G#5 D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
So you think that star cluster shining bright in the sky
D#5 G#5 D#5
Will speak the fate of your evening, tell the truth to your lie
G#5 D#5 G#5 D#5
Don't let the features you read control the tickets you buy
G#5 D#5 G#5 D#5 G#5
Soon as you learn that you live, you're just beginning to die
[Chorus]
A#m9 D#7
Smell the perfume of a silent dream
A#m9 D#7
Fly the ocean, read a story to me
A#m9 D#7
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
F# N.C.
Speak to me
