Verse:

  Dm                            F    G        Dm
Some mornings I wake up wishing I could be someone else

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

Dm                               F          G
Not having to live with all this doubt and insecurity

   Dm                      F            C           Dm     F
King for a day, fool for a lifetime is all I'll ever be


Pre-chorus:

      C          G                 Dm      F
I made promises I knew I could not keep

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

  F          C (let ring)
I know that now


Verse:

Dm                           F       G                 Dm
But even though my heart has always been in the right place

                             F              C                    Dm
It's on a different beat and I have always moved at a different pace

   F         Dm         F         G               Dm
In my refusal I betray myself and I can't help to think

                            F                G              Dm    F
that no matter what or if I try I will keep beating out of sync


Pre-chorus:

           C      G                Dm     F
I made promises I knew I could not keep

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

  F         C
I know that now


Chorus:

        F           Dm       C
I have walked this streets a thousand times

          F        Dm        C
Wondering where it all went wrong

        F          Dm     C             Bb      Dm     C
Where I lost myself to who I am holding on to a dream for too long

       Bb  F    Dm            C
I held on to a dream for too long

Chorus:

F                   Dm       C
I have walked this streets a thousand times

          F         Dm       C
Wondering where it all went wrong

        F          Dm    C              Bb      Dm     C
Where I lost myself to who I am holding on to a dream for too long

        F          Dm     C
I have sailed this waters back and forth

        F         Dm            C
To fight a battle that can't be won

      F        Dm        C
I am left in a vast and empty world

         Dm   G    Dm             C
With no dream to which I can hold on

         Bb       Dm        C
For the dream is long long gone

         Bb        F         C     (single strums, sustained)
Yeah the dream is long long gone
