Tom : Bm
Bm
When I first saw your trespasser
F#m Bm F#m
He wandered uninvited to your door
Bm
He seemed to know his way around
F#m Bm F#m
Although I'd never seen his face before
Bm Em
Pausing for a moment underneath your window ledge
D
He turned around to see the shadow of the sundial on the hedge
C Bm
There was a tightness in his face, as though he were on edge
F#m
I don't know why
Chorus:
Bm F#m
You see him in your dreams
Bm F#m
You see him in your dreams
Bm F#m
You see him in your dreams
G A Bm
But now I seem to see him all the time
Verse 2:
Bm
You said if there's a trespasser
F#m Bm F#m
There must be a footprint or a sign
Bm
And what would he be looking for
F#m Bm F#m
There's nothing here for anyone to find
Bm Em
And while you tried to say it couldn't be I realized
G D
That you could feel no sense of danger and you didn't seem surprised
C Bm
I got the feeling that you knew more than you said but felt advised
F#m
To keep it in
Repeat Chorus:
Verse 3:
Bm Em
Now I see your trespasser go wandering alone
G D
Sometimes he's standing by the flowers or melting in the stone
C Bm
And even when I cannot see him I can feel it in my bones
F#m
That he's still there
