**Only when I sleep**

By the Corrs, from the album Talk on corners.  

Figured out by Simon Forsman.

Some of the chords on this song is kinda odd, and I don't know what

they're called. But on the bottom of this page I'll show you the tabs on

theese chords. And in the end of the verses there's a guitar riff -

check bottom of page.

  The bass is always going B, A, E, A on the verses, but the guitar

sometimes (or always) go to the A6/Db-chord instead of the bass's A. So

if you wanna variate: Instead of the A's on the verses, use the

A6/Db-chord (see tab).

  And instead of the E's on the verses the guitar sometimes goes to some

kind of E/Ab-chord... But if you're only using the guitar and no bass,

you might aswell just play all the ordinary chords. Sounds better.

  There's a riff in the beginning of the song. I'll give you the tab on

that riff (not the entire solo). Just a nice intro...  

  m=minor

Intro:

riff 1... Bm... D7... E... Em... A...

Verse 1:

Bm         A           E                         Bm

... You're only just a dream boat, sailing in my head

    A              E                         Bm

You swim my secret oceans, of coral blue and red

     A                E                    (bridge:)G^(see tab)

Your smell is incense burning, your touch is silken yet

                      D                 G^

It reaches through my skin, moving from within

                      riff 2(tab)

And it clutches at my breast...

Chorus:

                     Bm                   D7

But it's only when I sleep, see you in my dreams

                E                        Em         A

Got me spinning round and round, turning upside down

                    Bm                       D7

But I only hear you breathe, somewhere in my sleep

                E                        Em         A

Got me spinning round and round, turning upside down

                     Bm...

But it's only when i sleep...

Verse 2:

        A                E                          Bm    

... And when I wake from slumber, your shadow's disappeared

    A                  E                          Bm      

You breath is just the sea mist, surrounding my body

    A                   E                    (bridge:) G^(tab)...

I'm working through the daytime, but when it's time to rest...

                D                    G^(tab)      

I'm lying in my bed, listening to my breath
