By the Corrs, from the album Talk on corners.

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 G
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
                 riff 2(tab)...
Falling from the edge...

Chorus.
But it's only when I sleep...
I see you in my...
