[Intro]
Cmaj7 Em  Eb+ Em  G7

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
I've been having strange dreams
Em
Seeing ghosts and breaking things
Eb+                 Em
Room's on fire as I sit and
            G7
watch it melt around me
Cmaj7
I've been hosting screenings
Em
Of slightly altered movie scenes
Eb+                   Em
Seems familiar 'til I realize
           G7                 Em
that they look just like me

[Pre-Chorus]
   D      G                     A7
Where am I? I can't find the door

How long have I been here for?
             Cmaj7
Where the houses all can talk

And I don't mind the creaky floors
    Em        D      G
And now we're in a basement
        A7
I feel wasted and I'm sure
            Cmaj7
That you'll kiss me anyway
            Cm                    D
That'll be just the thing to wake me

[Chorus]
Am            Em
Maybe I'm weird or
          D            Am
maybe I'm off the wall
                       Cm
But maybe it's weirder not
to have dreamed at all
Cmaj7 Em  Eb+ Em  G7

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
I can walk through walls now
Em
Quietly I roam the halls
Eb+                   Em
Suddenly I'm ten feet tall
          G7
and I can touch the ceiling
Cmaj7
I think I scared you off now
Em                            Eb+
I'm regretting getting close hoping
            Em              G7
It was just a ghost that sorta
looked just like you

[Pre-Chorus]
   D      G                     A7
Where am I? I can't find the door

How long have I been here for?
             Cmaj7
Where the houses all can talk

And I don't mind the creaky floors
    Em      D    G
And now I'm in a maze
             A7
Down in this basement and I'm sure
            Cmaj7
That you'll miss me anyway
            Cm                    D
That'll be just the thing to wake me

[Chorus]
Am            Em
Maybe I'm weird,
            D            Am
or maybe I'm off the wall
                       Cm
But maybe it's weirder not
to have dreamed at all
Am            Em
Maybe I'm weird,
            D            Am
or maybe I'm off the wall
                       Cm
But maybe it's weirder not
to have dreamed at all
