Verse 1

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

Chorus

And then the nightmares come
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
For the welcome of a better day 
And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
And up in your room
Your walls are getting colder
Like you're getting on a roller coaster
You can't find the breaks

Verse 2

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

Chorus

And then the nightmares come
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
For the welcome of a better day 
And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
And up in your room
Your walls are getting colder
Like you're getting on a roller coaster
You can't find the breaks
When you're giving everything away
Everybody lets you pray
You're saving up for a better day
Seeing things in a better way
When you know you've got to live
There's nothing you won't give
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
Shughie found love and he almost cried 
We laughed and wondered why
Eb Dm* Cm F
We loved the sky and found the space
And gazed out over Stevie's plane

Chorus

And then the nightmares come
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
For the welcome of a better day 
And then the nightmares come
And you get blown away
And up in your room
Your walls are getting colder
Like you're getting on a roller coaster
You can't find the breaks
