A# Dm F G A#
Because it's only an illusion
Dm F G A#
Only an illusion
Upon the hill of high ideals
You begin to wonder if it's real
You are reaching sleep's oasis
You begin to wonder how you feel
But it happens so quickly
It doesn't fit into your scenes
Tossin' and turnin'
The star of so many scenes
It's only an illusion
Bm
It's only an illusion
Outro: Am Am G F
