 I think about it, can't

Took a flight all the way

  No way around it, I still see 
  you way up here, yeah

Took a hammer to my phone,

  you crystal clear

[Chorus]
                   Dm
Guess I might understand it

                       Am
You don't show up in a dream

For you not wanting to leave 
(No, no, no)
                    C
Put my shoes on and run away
                           Am    A
But you still show up in a dream
                 F
Only making this harder
                       G
'Cause I still have to see your,
 see your face, yeah
 C
(Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2]

 Can you come back? Wait,
  I don't mean that, no
It's all just feeling real now (Ooh)
Am                         F
  So far away, but I still feel
   you everywhere
