[Intro]
| G | G | A G | G | x2
 
[Verse 1]
G                                                    C       G
If I close my eyes, I see your face, and I'm not without you.
G                                                           G
If I try hard and concentrate, I could still hear you speak.
  C                                                             C
I picture myself in your room by the chair, smoking a cigarette.
   G                                                                   G
If I close my eyes, I can see your face; you're saying: "I missed you."
 
[Chorus]
G               C         G   G
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'.
 
[Verse 2]
G                                                      A                   G
If I close my eyes, I can smell your perfume; you look and say: "hi, babe."
G                                                                G
If I close my eyes, pictures from China still hang from the wall.
  C                                                           C
I hear the dog bark; I turned and say: "what were you saying?"
  G                                                 G
I picture you in the red chair inside the pale room.
 
[Chorus]
G                             G
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'.
 
[Verse 3]
G                                                       A  G      G
You sat in your chair with a tube in your arm; you were so skinny.
G                                                                    G
You were still making jokes; I don't know what drugs they had you on.
    C                                                             C
You said: "I guess this is not the time of long term investments."
G                                                     G
You were always laughing, but you never laughed at me.
 
[Verse 4]
G                                                                G
They say in the end the pain was so bad, that you were screaming.
G                                                          G
Now, you were no saint, but you deserved; better than that.
         C                                                       C
From the corner I watch them removing things from your apartment.
                  G                                            G
But I can picture your red chair and pale room, inside my head.
 
[Verse 5]
G                                                    C      G
If I close my eyes, I see your face, and I'm not without you..
G                                                                                  G
If I try hard and concentrate, I can hear your voice saying: "Who better than you?"
   C                                                          C
If I close my eyes, I can't believe that I'm here without you.
  G                                                      G
Inside your pale room, your empty red chair, and my head.
 
[Outro]
G                    A       G
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'.
G         A                  G
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'.
G                            G
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'.
