Intro
[C] [Em] [F] [G7]
I had a [C]dream last night
I [Em]dreamt that I was swimming
And the [F]stars up above
[G7]Directionless and drifting
And [C]somewhere in the dark
Were the [Em]sirens and the thunder
And [F]around me as I swam
The [G7]drifters who'd gone under
Chorus
[C]Time, love [Em]Time, love
[F]Time, love[G7]
[C]Time, love [Em]Time, love
[F]Time, love It's [G7]only a change of time
Verse 2
I had a [C]dream last night
And [Em]rusting far below me
Battered [F]hulls and broken hardships
[G7]Leviathan and Lonely
I was [C]thirsty so I drank
And [Em]though it was salt water
There was [F]something 'bout the way
It [G7]tasted so familiar
Chorus
[C]Time, love [Em]Time, love
[F]Time, love[G7]
[C]Time, love [Em]Time, love
[F]Time, love It's [G7]only a change of time
Bridge
The [C]black clouds I'm hanging
This [Em]anchor I'm dragging
The [F]sails of memory
Rip [G7]open in silence
We [C]cut through the lowlands
All [Em]hands through the saltlands
The [F]white caps of memory
[G7]Confusing and violent
Interlude
[C] [Em] [F] [G7]
Verse 3
I had a [C]dream last night
And [Em]when I opened my eyes
Your [F]shoulder blade, your spine
Were [G7]shorelines in the moon light
New [C]worlds for the weary
New [Em]lands for the living
I could [F]make it if I tried
I closed my [G7]eyes I kept on swimming
Chorus
[C]Time, love [Em]Time, love
[F]Time, love It's [G7]only a change of time
[C]Time, love [Em]Time, love
[F]Time, love It's [G7]only a change of time
Outro
