Awful Dream
Chords interpreted by Joe G, based on a live bootleg from Kingston, ON
Four in the morning
I woke with a start
I woke with a pounding deep deep down in my heart
And it’s all over now,
I don’t know what it tells me
I don’t know what it means
I don’t know where it comes from
I don’t know where it leads
And it’s all over now
Maybe it was something somebody said
Maybe it was nothing, the wrong side of the bed
[]
But all I know is that it scares me
Even though it’s not real
And it’s strange what you see
In the middle of the night
When your eyes aren’t even open
And there isn’t any light
And it’s all over now
Now I know what you’re thinking
You wanna know what went down
You wanna know if you were in it
Don’t let me go, you weren’t around
Oh and it’s all over now
But I had such an aw-aw-awful dream
Have you ever had the feeling
Something you can’t shake
It doesn’t matter if you’re sleeping
Or if you’re awake
And nothing’s as it should be
At least that’s how it seems
We all have our awful dreams
Awful dreams
Awful dreams
Awful dreeeeeams.
