Rilo Kiley - My Slumbering Heart Chords

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


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


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


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

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


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

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


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