VERSE 1:
E                             Esus4 
   The devil¹s in the dreaming
                        E 
He tells you I¹m not sleeping in my hotel room alone
E                           Esus4
  With nothing to believe in
                          E
You dive in to the traffic rising up and it¹s so quiet
You¹re surprised and then you wake
PRE-CHORUS 1:
Abm                            A
     For all the things you¹re losing
                     E
You might as well resign yourself to try and make a change
Abm                   A
    I¹m going down to Hollywood
                     B              E                     A
They¹re gonna make a movie from the things that they find crawling 
         B
round my brain
CHORUS 1: (second guitar with Riff 2)

A         B        E            B          A
   I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me
       B               E            B
And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep
A        B            E              B
   I wish for all the world that I could say,
      E                               F#m           A    B
³Hey, Elizabeth, you know, I¹m doing alright these days²

VERSE 2: Same pattern as verse 1.
The devil¹s in the dreaming
You see yourself descending from a building to the ground
You watch the sky receding
You spin to see the traffic rising up and it¹s so quiet
You¹re surprised and then you wake
PRE-CHORUS 2:
For all the things I¹m losing
I might as well resign myself to try and make a change
But I¹m going down to Hollywood
They¹re gonna make a movie from the things that they find crawling round my brain
CHORUS 2 (second guitar Riff 2)

4th time
In one of these dreams, 
6th time
you forgive me
8th time
It makes me think of 
E                      A
the bad decisions that keep you at home
          E                Esus4
How could anyone else have changed?
E                                 A
 All these wrong conclusions that leave you alone
          E             A
How could everyone rearrange?
          E                  A
How could everyone else have changed?
       F#m             A
What I see		I believe
