lyrics

(Am) I had a (C/G) dream I was (Am) living in a (C/G) dream
I was (Am) neither live nor (D7) dead I was (Em) something in be- (Am) tween
it was /hideous, glorious (Em) sullen and wild
one (F#m7♭5/A) million years forgotten but ni-(C/G) ieve as a (Am) child

(refrain)
(Am) There’s no (C/G) safe place for your (G) dreams to spend the (Am) night
there’s (Em) always lurking (Bm7) shadows to (Am7) steal your dreams from (Em) sight
the (C/G) best you can (D) hope for is a (G) moment ‘neath the (Em) stars
when the (C/G) dreams you have op-(G) pen their eyes lov- (Am) ing for who you (G) are

(Am) I had a (C/G) thought I was (Am) nothing but a (C/G) thought,
in a- (Am) nother thought su- (D7) spended were the (Em) answers that I (Am) sought
But the / guy who does the thinking (Em) thought of something else
he (F#m7♭5/A) thought he knew what’s best for me, that (C/G) thought he kept him- (Am) self

(Am) There was a (C/G) time I had (Am) nothing but (C/G) time
I (Am) took my time for (D7) granted and the (Em) beauty of my (Am) crime
I / didn't need a jury (Em) to condemn my sin
my (F#m7♭5/A) punishment was a life gone by and (C/G) frozen heart with- (Am) in
