Am Dm
[Verse 1]
F G
Thrown down through the arms of sleep she fell through the
Am Dm
ivory morning
F G F Am G
Deep into the waters of the one she called love
F Am G
She paled in the wake of what some call a dream
G Am Dm
But, you cannot know a dream till you've known the nightmare
{Verse 2]
F G
When I stood with you against the storm and I tried
Am Dm F G
I tried once again well, I said, "I'd like to leave you with something warm"
Am Dm F G
How many times, drowning in the sea, drowning
F Am G F
That was when the dream took her prisoner
Am G Eb Gm
And she knew the dream was over but
F Eb Gm F
But, the nightmare was not over
G
Still some call that a dream
[Verse 3]
Am Dm
F G
Well, you cannot know a dream when you turn away
Am Dm
You don't know you'll never care
F G
The night is not your friend and you have not had her
Am Dm
well when the nightmare ends
F G
But, you never understand
F Am G
When you're gone
F Am G
She wakes up calling out,
Eb Gm F Eb Gm F
oohh, calling out, as children may cry as she will
[Bridge]
G
Am G Eb
Anytime, oh, anywhere, blinded by the light of the day
Gm F
She has known the nightmare
G G
[Verse 4]
Am
Dm F G Am Dm
So about the moon and her sisters how dare he take them prisoner
F G Am Dm
Well, if she had flung out her heart against him when in all of her wisdom
F G
Oh, well that was a mystery
F Am G F
That was when the dream took her prisoner
Am G Eb Gm
And she knew the dream was over but
F Eb Gm F
well the nightmare was not over
F Am G
well somewhere in her ancient ways
F Am G
She walks through the night
Eb Gm F
And then she tries to get through the day
F G
Some will never know or share any kind of dream
G
[Verse 5]
Am Dm F G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world
Am Dm F G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world
Am Dm F G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world
Am Dm F G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world
[Bridge 2]
Eb F
She wants him to fight... anytime, anywhere whe wants him to stand up
G
She wants him to win
G
[Outro]
G G
Blinded by the light of the day...
