VERSE 1
E chordE Esus4 chordEsus4
The devil's in the dreamin'
E chordE
He tells you I'm not sleepin'
Esus4 chordEsus4 E chordE
In my hotel room alone
E chordE Esus4 chordEsus4
With nothing to believe in
E chordE
You dive into the traffic rising up
Esus4 chordEsus4 E chordE
And it's so quiet
you're surprised and then you wake

PRE-CHORUS

For all the things you're losing

You might as well resign yourself
Esus4 chordEsus4 E chordE
to try and make a change
G#m chordG#m A chordA
And I'm going down to Hollywood
B chordB
They're gonna make a movie from the things
That they find crawling round my brain

CHORUS
A chordA B chordB C#m chordC#m
I wish I was a girl
B chordB A chordA
So that you could believe me
B chordB C#m chordC#m
And I could shake this static

Every time I try to sleep
B chordB C#m chordC#m B chordB
I wish for all the world that I could say
E chordE F#sus4 chordF#sus4 F# chordF#
Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right

These days

The devil's in the dreamin',
E chordE
You see yourself descending
Esus4 chordEsus4 E chordE
From the building to the ground
E chordE Esus4 chordEsus4
And you watch the sky receding

And you spin to see the traffic rising up
Esus4 chordEsus4 E chordE
and it's so quiet
and you're surprised and then you wake

These days

And one of these dreams
E chordE
You forgive me
F#m chordF#m
It makes me think of the bad decisions
A chordA
That keep you at home
E chordE A chordA
How could anyone else have changed
F#m chordF#m
But these are wrong conclusions

That leave you alone

What I see I believe
