[Intro 1]
[Em][G][Em][Baug][G][Em][Baug][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]It's
been a day by my window
Heat's so strong I couldn't bear
[Baug]Caught i[Em]n a fire in the end of July
[Baug]I guess [Em]I kinda lost myself
[Baug]I dream on[Em]
[Baug]I dream [Em]on[Dsus4][Em]
Once so hot by the [D#]evening
[Baug]Took my [Em]car across town
Running again to an old girlfriend
[Baug]To say, [Em]I am still around
[Am]I guess I'm a child instinct
Must have been much
stronger than mine
Cause all my life, was a giggling child
I couldn't break a happy [Bm]heart
She said, [Am]cross town
Don't want you coming here anymore
I want you to go [F]home[Am]
Got no business standing [Bm]there
[Em]In my back room[Am]
I don't want you coming here
[Em]I dream on[D#]
[G]I s[Em]aw a man at some cr[D#]ossroads
[Em]With a young girl at his side
[D#]I'd [Em]see in my car when
he stuck out his arm
[D#]Say [Em]ing, mister, give my girl a ride
I dream of
Soon we fell to [D#]talking
[Em]She was smoking my air
[Baug]That wom[Em]an must have been
somewhat freer than me
But she said you couldn't
take me [Am]anywhere
So I found myself getting
off with a stranger,
feeling more and more alone.
[Em]I drove the car ri[Am]ght past
my own front door,
knowing I can't take a stranger [Bm]home.
As it crossed [Am]town.
Don't want you coming here,
I want to take you [F]home.[Am]
You got no business sleeping here,
[Bm]in m[Em]y back room.
Am I dream[Am]ing?
I don't want you coming here.
I wanna take you [F]home.[Am]
You got no business sleeping [Em]here,
in my back [Bm]room.[Em]
[D#][Em][G][Em][Cm][G]
[Em]So I drove her back to Camden,
[Baug]made som[Em]e excuse and ran.
[Dsus4]If she could hav[Em]e seen
me as I saw myself,
[D#]she'[Em]d have only
witnessed half a [Am]man.
In the end of July,
a stranger in my own [Bm]home,
I'd say [Am]cross town,
I dream on, [F]got [Am]no business
Sleepin' here, [Bm]in my[Em] back room
I [Am]dream on
I don't want you comin' here
Burnin' fire
Got no business sleepin' [Bm]here[Em]
I [Am]dream on
