[Verse 1]
Bb      Bb/A              Gm7          Fadd11
  Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow
       Eb
  And laughed with all of his friends
Eb Dm* Cm            F              D
  At all the little men who borrow tunes
                   F
  They heard just yesterday
Bb       Bb/A              Gm7     Fadd11
  Davey got us down but we got away
      Eb
  And drank to all the days
Eb Dm* Cm              F
  That we just whiled away
                D             F
  Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase

[Chorus]
                          Bb
  And then the nightmares come
                    Eb
  And you get blown away
  (when your friends go away, on last chorus)

  And up in your room your walls are cold

  You find your head is holding out
                                  Bb
  For the welcome of a better day

                          Bb
  And then the nightmares come
                      Eb
  And you get blown away

  And up in your room

  Your walls are getting colder

  Like you're getting on a roller coaster
                       Bb
  You can't find the breaks

[Verse 2]
Bb       Bb/A                  Gm7      Fadd11
  Stevie burned the sky when he flew away
      Eb
  And left us things to say
Eb Dm* Cm               F
  When all the world was falling down
    D                   F
  Around our shoulders; cold and grey
Bb      Bb/A            Gm7       Fadd11
  Harry carried on in his usual way
        Eb
  And Minnie went inside
Eb Dm* Cm              F
  And came out once and we both cried
        D             F
  And Minnie blew my head away

[Chorus]
                          Bb
  And then the nightmares come
                    Eb
  And you get blown away
  (when your friends go away, on last chorus)

  And up in your room your walls are cold

  You find your head is holding out
                                  Bb
  For the welcome of a better day

                          Bb
  And then the nightmares come
                      Eb
  And you get blown away

  And up in your room

  Your walls are getting colder

  Like you're getting on a roller coaster
                       Bb
  You can't find the breaks

Ab
  When you're giving everything away
Cm
  Everybody lets you pray
F
  You're saving up for a better day
Eb
  Seeing things in a better way
Ab
  When you know you've got to live
Cm
  There's nothing you won't give
 F
  To hear the phone and not let it ring
        Bb  Bb/A  Gm7  F+11 Eb
  Every mon-day   mo - or - ning

  Eb Dm* Cm   F      D/F#   F

Bb        Bb/A              Gm7          Fadd11
  Shughie found love and he almost cried
       Eb
  We laughed and wondered why
Eb Dm* Cm              F
  We loved the sky and found the space
        D               F
  And gazed out over Stevie's plane

[Chorus]
                          Bb
  And then the nightmares come
                    Eb
  And you get blown away
  (when your friends go away, on last chorus)

  And up in your room your walls are cold

  You find your head is holding out
                                  Bb
  For the welcome of a better day

                          Bb
  And then the nightmares come
                      Eb
  And you get blown away

  And up in your room

  Your walls are getting colder

  Like you're getting on a roller coaster
                       Bb
  You can't find the breaks

Bb      Bb/A   Gm7    Fadd11 Eb
