[Intro]
C/F C/E
[Verse 1]
Cadd4 C/G
What a dream that was
Em F
I almost couldn't wake because
C/G Em
I was frozen in bed with a zombie girl
F
Vacant as a closed down fair
[Verse 2]
F C/G Em F
Sleep paralysis, I sworn I could’ve felt you there
C/G F
And I almost could've kissed your hair
C/G Em
But the emptiness withdrew me
F
From any kind of wishful prayer
[Chorus]
C/G Em
Oh, emptiness
Gm
Tell me 'bout your nature
F C C/B Am
Maybe I’ve been getting you wrong
C Cadd4
I cover you with questions
C Cadd4
Cover you with explanations
C Cadd4 G
Cover you with music
[Verse 3]
F C/G
Then the next night
Em F
Dreaming I could feel your skin
C/G Em
But the dream escaped so easily
F
And I wokе up to the road again
[Verse 4]
F C/G
How your words ring through
Em F
Something kinda sweet and blue
C/G Em
And I knеw that you'd been understanding
F
Everything that I'd said, too
[Chorus]
C/G Em
About emptiness
Gm
Tell me 'bout your nature
F C C/B Am
Maybe I've been getting you wrong
C Cadd4
I cover you with questions
C Cadd4
Cover you with explanations
C Cadd4 G
Cover you with music
[Outro]
C/F
What's on your mind?
C/E
What's on your mind?
C/F
What's on your mind?
C/E
What’s on your mind?
C/F C/E
In your mind
