[Verse 1]
[Dsus4]When I go[Bm] to s[Dsus4]leep,[Em]
[Am]you become my thief
[Dsus4]Why don`t [Am]you steal
[Dsus4]what you can k[G]eep?
But [Bm]you won`t let [G]me be
You [Am]break into my dreams
An[Dsus4]d every d[D]ay seems d[Dsus4]ifferent
[Em]Sometimes I [Am]pretend you`ll
come back again
[Dsus4]And you`ll console
[G]the heart you [D]stole
[Bm]Have pity on the man
Who [Am]knows that you have gone
An[Dsus4]d has beg[D]un to bre[Dsus4]ak down

[Verse 2]
[Em]I fe[E]el almost [C#m]possessed
So [Abm]long as I don`t lose this
[Am]glorious distress then
[E]You can take [C#m]all I have left
[Abm]I know it`s over
[F#m]If you can`t be my lover
Be my [D]thief[Am]
[Em]I`m so drowsy

[Verse 3]
[Am]now, I`ll
unlock the door
What [Dsus4]fades in time will hur[G]t much more
[Bm]So here`s that happy scene
[Am]Where you come back to me
[Dsus4]It`s only [D]found in [Dsus4]fiction
[Bm][Dsus4]

[Verse 4]
[E]I feel alm[C#m]ost possessed
So [G#m]long as I don`t lose
[Am]this glorious distress then
[E]You can take all[C#m] I have left
[Abm]I know it`s over
[F#m]If you can`t be my lover

[Interlude 1]
Be my thief
[F#m][Am][Em][Am]
[Dsus4][G][Gaug][Baug]

[Verse 5]
[Em]"I didn't lead you on,
[Am]But there will always be
[Dsus4]A little larceny in everyo[G]ne[Baug][G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]So hush and don`t you cry
[Am]I`m trying to be kind
[Dsus4]Because I have a perfect a[G]libi"[Baug]
[Em]

[Outro 1]
[Am][Dsus4]
