Verse:

 DmDm              FF  G+G    DmDm
Some mornings I wake up wishing I could be someone else

              FF    G+G
If even just for a day get away from everything, escape myself

DmDm                FF     G+G
Not having to live with all this doubt and insecurity

  DmDm           FF      C majorC      DmDm   FF
King for a day, fool for a lifetime is all I'll ever be

Pre-chorus:

   C majorC     G+G         DmDm   FF
I made promises I knew I could not keep

   C majorC          G+G          Bb majorBb
I made choices I knew were wrong 'cause I was weak

 FF     C majorC (let ring)
I know that now


Verse:

DmDm              FF    G+G         DmDm
But even though my heart has always been in the right place

               FF       C majorC          DmDm
It's on a different beat and I have always moved at a different pace

  FF     DmDm     FF     G+G        DmDm
In my refusal I betray myself and I can't help to think

              FF        G+G       DmDm  FF
that no matter what or if I try I will keep beating out of sync

Pre-chorus:

      C majorC   G+G        DmDm   FF
I made promises I knew I could not keep

      C majorC        G+G         Bb majorBb
I made choices I knew were wrong 'cause I was weak

 FF     C majorC
I know that now


Chorus:

    FF      DmDm    C majorC
I have walked this streets a thousand times

     FF    DmDm    C majorC
Wondering where it all went wrong

    FF     DmDm   C majorC       Bb majorBb   DmDm   C majorC
Where I lost myself to who I am holding on to a dream for too long

    Bb majorBb FF  DmDm      C majorC
I held on to a dream for too long

Chorus:

I have walked this streets a thousand times

     FF     DmDm    C majorC
Wondering where it all went wrong

    FF     DmDm  C majorC       Bb majorBb   DmDm   C majorC
Where I lost myself to who I am holding on to a dream for too long

    FF     DmDm   C majorC
I have sailed this waters back and forth

    FF     DmDm      C majorC
To fight a battle that can't be won

   FF    DmDm    C majorC
I am left in a vast and empty world

     DmDm  G+G  DmDm       C majorC
With no dream to which I can hold on

     Bb majorBb    DmDm    C majorC
For the dream is long long gone

Yeah the dream is long long gone
