[Verse 1][electric guitar][half step down][F–C–Am–Em]
I had this dream while in a deep sleep
My heart was beating like it had to leap
From the edge of a cliff and chased by demons
I can't outrun these fucken feelings!
[Build into chorus]
[Chorus]
How am I dreaming it feels so real
Has Freddy highjack my mind
just to get me to squeal
It's a nightmare on elms street
It's a nightmare while I sleep
[Verse 2]
Breaking out in a very cold sweat
My legs feel heavy like I'm about to get
Taken down with my head underwater
I can't outswim this fucken monster!
[Chorus]
How am I dreaming it feels so real
Has Freddy highjack my mind
just to get me to squeal
It's a nightmare on elms street
It's a nightmare while I sleep
[Bridge][change progression]
[Verse 3]
Tossing and turning the grip gets tighter
I feel it squeezing as my conscience gets lighter
With a last breath my lungs try to take
I strike this demon then I finally wake
[Chorus]
How am I dreaming it feels so real
Has Freddy highjack my mind
just to get me to squeal
It's a nightmare on elms street
It's a nightmare while I sleep
