[Pre-Chorus]
F                   Fmaj7
It comes to me in a dream
Fmaj7       G
In the dead heat and
                    F

[Chorus]
G                F
Quietly, I'm tempted
F           C
Sure sounds nice to settle
down for a whilе
G            F                     C
Let the real еstate show itself to me
C       G              Bm        C
I could wake up with a baby in a sling
C                                G
Just a couple doors down from Abigail
F                      C
My sister, man and her ring
