**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:

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

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:

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

Got me spinning round and round, turning upside down

But I only hear you breathe, somewhere in my sleep

Got me spinning round and round, turning upside down

Bm...

But it's only when i sleep...

Verse 2:

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

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

Intro : Bm,D,E,Em,A

You're only just a dreamboat

Sailing in my head

You swim my secret ocean

I see you in my dreams

Got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep

Got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

But it's only when I sleep

And when I wake from slumber

Your shadow's disappeared

Your breath is just a sea mist

Surrounding my body

I'm working through the daytime

But when it's time to rest

I'm lying in my bed

Listening to my breath

Falling from the edge
