D MajorD           A augmentedA
Laura kept all her disappointments

D MajorD               A augmentedA
Locked up in a box behind her closet door

   B minorBm          E MajorE
She pulled the blinds and listened to the thunder

    With no way out from the family store

    Caught in a vision I want to deny

And did I mention the note that I found

D MajorD       A augmentedA
Taped to my locked front door

B minorBm           E MajorE
It talked about no regrets

E MajorE F#F# G+G                     A augmentedA
As it slipped from my hand to the scuffed tile floor

Verse 6:

D MajorD          A augmentedA
I rode the train for hours on end

D MajorD               A augmentedA
And watched the people pass me by

B minorBm             E MajorE
It could be that it has no end

Just an action junkie's lullaby

Verse 7:

D MajorD               A augmentedA
We were full of the stuff that every dream rested

   D MajorD            A augmentedA
As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky

B minorBm             E MajorE
Caught up in the whole illusion

E MajorE F#F# G+G              A augmentedA
    That dreams never pass us by

Verse 8:

D MajorD            A augmentedA
Came to a tattooed conclusion

     D MajorD          A augmentedA
That the big one was knocking on the door

B minorBm            E MajorE
What started as a mass delusion

E MajorE F#F# G+G                   A augmentedA
   Would take me far from the place I adore
