🎸 Verse 1:
    FF               G+G
Thrown down through the arms of sleep she fell through the
A minorAm    DmDm
ivory morning
FF         G+G       FF      A minorAm G+G
Deep into the waters of the one she called love
         FF  A minorAm    G+G
She paled in the wake of what some call a dream
     G+G                        A minorAm DmDm
But, you cannot know a dream till you've known the nightmare

{Verse 2]
    FF        G+G
When I stood with you against the storm and I tried
 A minorAm      DmDm          FF           G+G
I tried once again well
I said, "I'd like to leave you with something warm"
      A minorAm DmDm         FF G+G
How many times, drowning in the sea, drowning
FF    A minorAm    G+G           FF
That was when the dream took her prisoner
A minorAm        G+G         Eb MajorEb G minorGm

     FF           Eb MajorEb G minorGm FF
But, the nightmare was not over
    G+G
Still some call that a dream

🎸 Verse 3:
A minorAm DmDm
     FF         G+G
Well, you cannot know a dream when you turn away
A minorAm          DmDm
You don't know you'll never care
  FF           G+G
The night is not your friend and you have not had her
A minorAm         DmDm
well when the nightmare ends
  FF     G+G
But, you never understand
FF        A minorAm G+G
When you're gone
      FF A minorAm G+G
She wakes up   calling out
Eb MajorEb     G minorGm  FF      Eb MajorEb     G minorGm FF
oohh, calling out, as children may cry as she will

A minorAm
DmDm        FF          G+G      A minorAm      DmDm
So about the moon and her sisters how dare he take them prisoner
         FF           G+G                 A minorAm DmDm
Well, if she had flung out her heart against him when in all of her wisdom
            FF  G+G
Oh, well that was a mystery
FF    A minorAm    G+G           FF
That was when the dream took her prisoner
A minorAm        G+G         Eb MajorEb G minorGm
And she knew the dream was over but
     FF          Eb MajorEb G minorGm FF
well the nightmare was not over
            FF   A minorAm G+G
well somewhere in her ancient ways
  FF  A minorAm        G+G
She walks through the night
           Eb MajorEb G minorGm        FF
And then she tries to get through the day
FF                     G+G
Some will never know or share any kind of dream
G+G

The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world

The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world
