Strum
D-DU-UDU
A  bad dream shook me in my sleep
And  I woke up sweating.
 Ran through the dark to the shower,
Already forgetting.
Tried  to think good thoughts.
Trying  to find my way clear.
Let  the room fill with steam,
Traced  pictures on the mirror.
Ghosts  and clouds and  nameless things.
Squint  your eyes and hope  real hard,
 Maybe sprout wings.
I  clawed my way to the living room window,
Stood  there in the cold.
 The last bits of my dream like figures  in the distance,
Hard  to hold.
I  thought of old friends,
 The ones who'd gone missing  like you
Said  all their names three  times.
 Phantoms in the early  dark,
Canaries  in the mines.
 The outro is the intro again only louder and stronger; all of the strums are down except
 the last chord of each progression.
 Ends on a D* chord.
 Thanks!
