  25 I was thinking of a series of dreams
  26       C      G                C
  27 Where nothing comes up to the top
  28      C    G                      C
  29 Everything stays down where it's wounded
  30     C                    F
  31 And comes to a permanent stop
  32        C
  33 Wasn't thinking of anything specific
  34                                            F
  35 Like in a dream, when someone wakes up and screams
  36 C
  37 Nothing too very scientific
  38              G               C

  43 Thinking of a series of dreams
  44 Where the time and the tempo fly
  45 And there's no exit in any direction
  46 'Cept the one that you can't see with your eyes
  47 Wasn't making any great connection
  48 Wasn't falling for any intricate scheme
  49 Nothing that would pass inspection

  95 Thinkin of a series of dreams
  96 where the middle and the bottom drop out
  97 and you're walking out of the darkness
  98 and into the shadows of doubt
  99 wasn't going to any great trouble
 100 You'd believe in it's whatever it seems
 101 nothing too heavy to burst the bubble
