I Don't Want to Dream
D
My nose bleeds and flares like a torch
G Gm A
Cement cracked weeds scar my grandma’s porch
A7
I’m not the sort to turn away
Like spider veins choke David’s right peck
My eyes are wider than a Coke bottle neck
I jump the deck to hit the hay
G
I can sleep like nobody’s business
D
Just please don’t let me dream
G
Because I cannot bear to bear witness
A
To the scary thoughts that haunt me
My legs are restless and kick like an ass
And there on the wall a slack jaw Billy Bass
Turns and takes me to the river
The bumps under my eyes form U and me
The creases in the sheets meant I slept till three
And awake in a river
I can sleep like nobody’s business
Just please don’t let me dream
I cannot bear to bear witness
To the scary thoughts that haunt me
D F#m
I never sang that I wanted to be haunted
Bm A
That wasn’t me, I don’t drink whiskey
D F#m
But of my beds, oh my rebellious beds
Bm A G
Are empty……Are empty
G D
Are empty now
G D
Are empty now
G D
Don’t tempt me now
