Of Montreal - The you i created

^CIt's hard to know exactly ^Amwhen my dreams got weird ^FI tense up and get ^Emantsy when you're ^Cnear ^CBut nightly you appear to me ^Amghostly in my head ^Fbut I never can re^Emmember what you ^Csaid

It must be ^Fsomething reassuring ^Csomething sweet and kind ^Gsomething you would never say in ^Creal life Where does it ^Fgo in the morning It ^Cslipped out of my hand Eating ^Gbreakfast with my other thoughts a^Cway from wakeful lands Where is the ^Fyou I created the ^Cyou that I adore? ^GWhen my eyes are open I don't ^Csee you anymore

^CIt's hard for me to fathom ^Amthat you disappeared ^Fand turned into ^Emexactly what I ^Cfeared ^CBut every night you sing to me ^Amwhen my eyes are closed But I ^Fnever can re^Emmember how it ^Cgoes

It must be ^Fsomething undeserving ^Conly in my mind ^GSomething you would never sing on ^Cyour time It disap^Fpears without warning It ^Cshifts like grains of sand Gala^Gvanting with some other dreams I ^Cdidn't understand Where is the ^Fyou I created the ^Cyou that I adore? ^GWhen my eyes are open I don't ^Csee you anymore

But ^Cnightly you appear to me ^Amghostly in my head but I ^Fnever can re^Emmember what you ^Csaid
