[Em7]I had a dream [C9]late last night
[Em7]The water was running low[C9]
and my [Em7]fields were on fire
[C9]burning my sky.
[Em7]My body was moving slow [C9]
[B7]and when I awoke I tasted the sweat
of de[A7]sire on my mouth. [Em7]And I
realized my hear[C9]t had abducted my mi[Em7]nd
and they were last seen headed[C9] south.
Now I[B7] can't sleep, I'm so wired,
and I fin[A7]d myself screaming out
[B+]Don't you [Em7]need? Don't you [D]want?
Can't you [C9]taste it when you're alone?
Don't you [Em7]cry? Don't you [D]feel?
Sometimes I [C9]wonder if you are real.
Don't you bleed?[B7] Don't you need?
{c:instrumental 3 full bars, lyrics on 4th}
[Em7] [C9] [Em7] [C9]
There's no [Em7]quenching of thirst
[C9]there's no relie[Em7]f for the hungry at he[C9]art
[Em7]And as far as you're concerned[C9] I'm just a thief
[Em7]entertaining in the dark.[C9]
Bu[B7]t it's you that holds the cards
Now[A7] that the joker is wild.
[B+]Don't you [Em7]need? Don't you[D] want
Can't you [C9]taste it when you're alone?
Don't you [Em7]cry? Don't you [D]feel?
Sometimes I [C9]wonder if you are real.
Don't you bleed[B7]? [A7]Don't you need?[C9]
[D]Don't you want to lay it down
[C9]and feel your skin against the ground?
[D]Don't you want to ride the [C9]storm
and then sleep inside the calm?
[D]Don't you want to get that high?
[C/E]Don't you wanna be satis[D/F#]fied?
Well, if you don't get that from [Cmaj7]me--
[B7]Don't you [Em7]need?

[Em7]I had a dream [C9]late last night
[Em7]The water was running low[C9]
and my [Em7]fields were on fire,
[C9]burning my sky[Em7]. How was I to k[C9]now
tha[B7]t I burn every night in my dreams
and only [A7]morning can set me free....
