1st VERSE:
Am
  Is it something ritual

  I'm caught in, can't break the spell?
       G
  Is it moving in my body

  Is it biological?
Am
  I gotta hand it to you

  You've got one heart ten times divided.
G
  Did you cut yourself in pieces

  To get them all inside?



CHORUS:
     Am
  You dream about her, can't you see?
G
  She's only shining bright 'cause she's so out of reach.
     Am
  You dream about the seven seas
       G
  While I'm staying home each night,
  F              G
  Making love to my fidelity.



2nd VERSE:
Am
  I'm rocking in my bed

  I can't talk can't think can't sleep.
     G
  And nothing's jumping fences,

  I only count what I cannot keep.
Am
  I lick my wounds,

  I chase my instinct like a cat.
G
  I don't know how I got so good

  Or why my heart's a trap



CHORUS:
      Am
  You dream about her, can't you see?
G
  She's only shining bright 'cause she's so out of reach.
     Am
  You dream about the seven seas
       G
  While I'm staying home each night,
  F              G
  Making love to my fidelity.
