Verse 1
D5 A7
In the twilight of your life
C7 D5
You lie awake at night
D5 A7
And dream of things you could have done
C7 D5
With the setting of the sun
D5 A7
You cast away your cares
C7 D5
And dream on if you dare
D5 A7
But dawns light is breaking through
C7 D5
To steal your dreams away from you
D5 A7
Dawns light is breaking through
C7 D5
To steal your dreams away from you
Chorus (Am Fmaj7 C/G Em) X 4
Verse 2
D5 A7
The alarm clock sings its song
C7 D5
To bring me back where I belong
D5 A7
To this one room rented shack
C7 D5
In this city cast in black
D5 A7
And I can't remember the song
C7 D5
Or the dream that brought it on
D5 A7
But I knew it yesterday
C7 D5
Before time took it away
Chorus (Am Fmaj7 C/G Em) X 4
Verse 3
D5 A7
Tommorrow you breath your last
C7 D5
As you lay down in the grass
D5 A7
You dream of things you could of done
C7 D5
With the setting of the sun
D5 A7
The light becomes so bright
C7 D5
It steals the sleep out of the night
D5 A7
And all your friends from before
C7 D5
Are there with you once more
D5 A7
Ya all your friends from before
C7 D5
Are there with you once more
Chorus (Am Fmaj7 C/G Em) X 4
