Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

       C Em        C   Em
What a fool, familiar dream
       G  G7           F  C
I wake up laughing and running
         F  Fm          Dm  Am
From the boy crying and calling
            G        F       C
'Cause the toy in my hand is real


Verse 2:

       C Em           C     Em
What a tomb we're building here
        G      G7              F   C
In the sphere, that's where we all die
       F  Fm                 Dm  Am
In the eye, that's where I'm living
    G         F        C
The toy in my hand is real

Verse 3:

       C Em           C      Em
In the room, her warm hands play
      G       G7          F   C
On my breast, what is she singing?
    F  Fm            Dm  Am
The form ringing and ringing
           G         F        C
'Cause the toy in my hand is real
    G         F        C
The toy in my hand is real


Verse 4:

         C Em          C       Em
Charcoal womb, the jet planes purr
        G  G7            F  C
And the crew, distant as paper
         F   Fm         Dm Am
Children burn, faceless vapor
           G         F        C
'Cause the toy in my hand is real
         G         F        C
Yes, the toy in my hand is real
