I suspect that these chords are correct, but, as always, you may think differently and 
to tweak it here or there. I hope I've at least provided you with some sort of starting 
with which to begin. Thanks! Enjoy!

"I Dreamed Of My Old Lover" by Elvis Costello, from the album "Secret, Profane, and 

                          
I dreamed of my old lover last night
                   
I wonder if I spoke out loud
                   
If by chance my husband overheard
                        
He'd put my face back in the crowd


                             
His eyes were clear and gentle then
                         
He'd kiss the worries from my brow
                    
I long to fall to sleep again
                          
And I wonder how he would look now


                                  
Would our kids grow stubborn or grow strong
                                   
Would their limbs bronze insult to the sun
                      
I wonder how it feels but then
                  
I rarely dream of anyone


                              
In the songs of shame and tales of dread
                                
Where they seal the lovers lips with lead
                                 
And all the vines wind through their eyes



But no one knows this passion now

No one knows this passion now


                      
So I keep this fancy to myself
                       
I keep my lipstick twisted tight
                    
I long to fall to sleep again
                           
'Cos I dreamed of my old lover last night
