/Heather Nova / I think this song is about a girl in love with a person
/My Fidelity / who loves someone else. She tries to tell this boy that
/Glowstars / he can't have the other girl, and that she loves him
/_____________/ no matter what. A phenomenal song - and guitar play too.

1st VERSE:
Am
Is it something ritual
I'm caught in, can't break the spell?
G
Is it moving in my body
Is it biological?
Am
I gotta hand it to you
You've got one heart ten times divided.
G
Did you cut yourself in pieces
To get them all inside?
CHORUS:
Am
You dream about her, can't you see?
G
She's only shining bright 'cause she's so out of reach.
Am
You dream about the seven seas
G
While I'm staying home each night,
F G
Making love to my fidelity.
2nd VERSE:
Am
I'm rocking in my bed
I can't talk can't think can't sleep.
G
And nothing's jumping fences,
I only count what I cannot keep.
Am
I lick my wounds,
I chase my instinct like a cat.
G
I don't know how I got so good
Or why my heart's a trap
CHORUS:
Am
You dream about her, can't you see?
G
She's only shining bright 'cause she's so out of reach.
Am
You dream about the seven seas
G
While I'm staying home each night,
F G
Making love to my fidelity.

3rd VERSE:
Am
I'm landlocked, stuck in here,
I don't want to take my freedom.
G
I can't change what makes me high
And I can't change what I believe in.

I'm not pleasing no guru,
I'm not out to look for Jesus.

I'm not afraid to break the rules
It's just, one love keeps me breathing.
