My Slumbering Heart Tab

by Rilo Kiley


Pretty much the same as the earlier one, but in an easier to read format, plus lyrics.


  
In my dreams
                       
I see myself hitting a baseball
                                  
In a green field somewhere near a freeway 
                                            
I'm all tan and smiling and running from 3rd base
         
And it's hot and
                             
The kids keep on playing the driving game
                                
And they're singing the same goddamn refrain
                        
And the sky is a blueish grey.


                                   
And its become just like a chemical stress
                              
Tracing the lines in my face for
                                
Something more beautiful than is there
            
I've barely been gone.


    
In my dreams
                                          
I see you at the foot of some mountains.
                                  
And we're taking some pictures or something
                     
And we'd better hurry up
        
And it's late and
                                   
The sun keeps on shooting through pine trees
                                     
And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans
                     
And we'd better hurry up

                                   
And its become just like a terrible mess
                              
Tracing the lines in my face for
                                
Something more beautiful than is there
                     
The crowds keep me coming back, cheering.


           
In my dreams
                       
I see you asleep on a twin bed
                           
The covers pulled up over your head
               
Am I asleep or awake?
       
And it's morning
                               
And the captain is playing the radio
                                  
And hes just put the paint on his new boat
               
Am I asleep or awake?

                                    
And it just feels good when you're waking up
                                    
And it just feels good when you're next to me
                                    
And it just feels good when you're coming home
                                    
And it just feels good when it's waking up


                                   
And I've become just like a chemical stress
                                     
Tracing the lines of my face for
                                
Something more beautiful than is there
             
I've barely been gone
                      
and I'm not a failure I swear
                                  
I wish you could see it from over there
                                
I've got a lot over here without you
            
I've barely been gone

gone
