Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Sweet dreams of you

 Every night I go through

Why can't I forget you and start my life anew

 Instead of having sweet dreams about you

You don't love me, it's plain

I should have known you'll never wear my ring

I know I should hate you the whole night through

Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Sweet dreams of you

Things I know can't come true

Why can't I forget the past, start loving someone new

Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Performed by Elvis Costello (from the album Almost Blue)

Sweet dreams of you

 Every night I go through

I should hate you, girl, the whole night through

 Instead of having sweet dreams all about you

You don't love me, it's plain

 I should have known you'd never share my name

Why can't I forget you, girl, start loving someone new

 Instead of having sweet dreams all about you

Why can't I forget my past, start loving someone new

 Instead of having sweet dreams all about you

Sweet dreams of you

 Every night I go through

I should hate you, girl, the whole night through

 Instead of having sweet dreams all about you

Instead of having sweet dreams about you
