Intro Fm , Cmaj7, Fm7 X2
Fm
I dreamt I was in heaven
and I was sitting in a bar
C#maj7
With all the other angels,
Fm7
you were smoking a cigar
Fm
One hand on your hip
and one foot on a chair
C#maj7
And a golden ostrich feather
Fm7
that was planted in your hair
Fm, Cmaj7, Em7 X2
Fm
And if I really were an angel,
I'd float over your bed
C#maj7
Each night a different dream of me
Fm7
I'd plant inside your head
Fm
And if I were an angel,
I tell you what I'd do
C#maj7
I'd appear in a vision
A#sus2
and I'd give my wings to you

I dreamt you were a genie
and I found you in the sand
C#maj7
And you were trapped inside a bottle
Fm7
and I held you in my hand
Fm
And you said you'd grant me wishes
if you were ever freed
C#maj7
I said "an empty head when I go to bed
A#sus2
is all I ever need"

So I, of course, released you, hoping you would keep your word
C#maj7 Fm7

Fm
And you said "about these wishes, it's too late to decide"
C#maj7 A#sus2
But I remembered that it was my dream... so I put you back inside

I dreamt I was a pirate
aboard a pirate ship
C#maj7
And for a hand I had a hook
Fm7
and for a heart I had a whip
Fm
And you were trapped inside your bottle
and I kept you down below
C#maj7
And you begged me to release you...
A#sus2
but I would not let you go

Fm
One night I was awoken
while we were out at sea
C#maj7
By a floating appartion
Fm7
glowing incadescently
Fm
And I could see you clearly
as all around was black
C#maj7
And you tore off both your wings, said
A#sus2
"Hey now you can have them back!"
