Scared

Chords by patchcloak, 9/30/15
** Notes:
** - The chords for the first verse follow the intro vamp,
**   so they are slightly different from the other verses.
**   In general, think of C like a pickup into the next chord.
**
** - I've tried to line up the starts of line breaks with
**   the starts of measures where it's useful, and otherwise
**   just to place the chord markers as exactly on the words
**   as possible. It sometimes makes the lines flow strangely,
**   but it makes the chord changes easier to parse when
**   multiple vocal parts are overlapping, like in the Bridge.
Vocal Intro (in 6/8, no backup)
I have the dream, always the same,
I was in white and falling,
Pretty red rose, pinned to my clothes,
I had the dream as always;

Verse 1
  Dm
Remember when you said you loved me?
  F                                             C
Remember when you said that it would all work out?
   Dm
We packed up and we left by morning,
    F                                           C
And everything you promised it ain't happening now,
        Bb
And I'm swirling, softly,
Drifting like the cream in your coffee,
And you're talking calmly,
Chorus
         Dm                   C
When I'm scared, to be on our own,
F                      C
    When the thrill is gone, and I'm
Dm                          C
Scared, thinkin' what we've done,
F                      C
    To try to love someone;
Dm                             C
Baby can you keep your promise?
F                           C
Baby can I keep you honest,'cause I'm
Dm         C

Verse 2
Dm                                 C
There's nothing in the sky above me,
        F                                    C
There's nothing strong below us baby if we fall;
      Dm                                  C
We're caught between a spark and lightning,
       F                                      C
We're caught between forever and nothing at all
        Bb
And I'm sorry, I love you,
But even those words are getting see-through,
And I'm losing it all to this feeling baby,
Chorus
    Dm                   C
I'm scared, to be on our own,
F                         C
    When the thrill is gone, and I'm
Dm                          C
Scared, thinkin' what we've done,
F                      C

Baby can you keep your promise?
F                           C
Baby can I keep you honest,'cause I'm
