Adamant

Capo 1
---------

C G
Chasing after clouds I can't keep
F G
holding on to dreams in lost sleep
Dm7     G7 Am7   Dm7
as the ugly truth comes creeping up on me

I thought this was just beginning
when we kissed when I was dreaming
when I awoke, you were streaming free tv

you live behind a closed door
I wish that you'd come out more
often, and share the story of your

--
C
You invaded
Em
sleep once sacred
    F
now saturated
Dm  G
with the in-between

      C
some combination
    Em
of invitation
    F
and accusation
         Dm   G
left my lips unseen

--
C  Em
and when I woke I woke to see
    Dm7 G G7
my lover lying next to me
    Am7     Em7
and all my dream between us spilt
F   G
coloured with passion and coloured with guilt

C Em
but I remember, even now,
  Dm7 G      G7
remember still exactly how
    Am7    Em7
you sat across from me and said
    F     G
the fairytales that ran through your head
--

C     G
you are the god I can't see
F            G
I pray but you can't hear me
Dm7 G7 Am7  Dm7
 I say I love you dearly and it's true

Daylight, I see your lips,
Adamant, they still insist
 they've never known my kisses, is this true?
