Intro: G C D G C D
G C D G
And when I remember how good your love feels
C D
The real world goes slipping away
G C D G
And though it's just dreaming I make your love true
C G D G
And I trade in this real world for one dream of you
C D G
I go to a clearing in the woods that we share
C D
When the real world holds us apart
G C D G
Though I can't hold your hand and I can't kiss you there
C G D G
I will die in this real world to live in your heart
Bridge:
Em Bm C G
And though over-simple is there anything else
Em Bm C D
Sometimes I awaken to question myself
G C D G
Oh, what fools what children to follow the heart
C D
For a dream that might last just one night
G C D G
But something that doesn't speak English says, 'Do'
C G D G
And I trade in this real world for one night with you
C D G
And something with wings and speaks only in blues
C G D G
Tells me trade in this real world for one night with you
