[Verse] G D C G I can recall the sound of the wind C G C D As it blew through the trees and the trees would bend G D C G I can recall the smell of the rain C G On a hot summer night C D Coming through the screen Am F#7 D7 Em7 I'd crawl in your bed when the lightning flashed C Bm7 C D And I'd still be there when the storm had passed G D C G Dead to the world, to the morning cast C D G Its light all around your room G D C G We lived on a street where the tall elm shade C G C D Was as green as the grass and as cool as a blade G D C G That you held in your teeth as we lay on our backs C G C D Staring up at the blue and the blue stared back Am F#7 D7 Em7 I used to believe we were just like those trees C Bm7 C D We'd grown just as tall and as proud as we pleased G D C G With our feet on the ground and our arms in the breeze C D G Under a sheltering sky [Chorus] Am F#7 D7 Em7 Twirl me about, and twirl me around C Bm7 C D Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground G D C G And when I look up at you looking down, C D G Say it was only a dream [Verse] G D C G A big truck was parked in the drive one day C G C D They wrapped us in paper and moved us away G D C G Your room was no longer next door to mine C G C D And this kid sister thing was old by that time Am F#7 D7 Em7 But oh how our dreams went bump in the night C Bm7 C D And the voices downstairs getting into a fight G D C G And the next day a silence you could cut with a knife C D G And feel like a blade at your throat [Chorus] Am F#7 D7 Em7 Twirl me about, and twirl me around C Bm7 C D Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground G D C G And when I look up at you looking down, C D G Say it was only a dream [Verse] G D C G The day you left home you got an early start C G C D I watched your car back out in the dark G D C G I opened the door to your room down the hall C G I turned on the light C D And all that I saw Am F#7 D7 Em7 Was a bed and a desk and couple of tacks C Bm7 C D No sign of someone who expects to be back G D C G It must have been one hell of a suitcase you packed [Chorus] Am F#7 D7 Em7 Twirl me about, and twirl me around C Bm7 C D Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground G D C G And when I look up at you looking down, C D G Say it was only a dream
