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

{Verse 2]
        F               G
When I stood with you against the storm and I tried
  Am            Dm                    F                     G
I tried once again well
I said, "I'd like to leave you with something warm"
            Am Dm                  F G
How many times, drowning in the sea, drowning
F       Am        G                      F
That was when the dream took her prisoner
Am               G                 Eb Gm
And she knew the dream was over but
         F                     Eb Gm F
But, the nightmare was not over
       G
Still some call that a dream

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

🎸 Bridge:
G
Am           G                                     Eb
Anytime, oh, anywhere, blinded by the light of the day
        Gm        F
She has known the nightmare
G G

🎸 Verse 4:
Am
Dm               F                    G            Am           Dm
So about the moon and her sisters how dare he take them prisoner
                 F                      G                                 Am Dm
Well, if she had flung out her heart against him when in all of her wisdom
                       F   G
Oh, well that was a mystery
F       Am        G                      F
That was when the dream took her prisoner
Am               G                 Eb Gm
And she knew the dream was over but
         F                   Eb Gm F
well the nightmare was not over
                       F      Am  G
well somewhere in her ancient ways
    F    Am                G
She walks through the night
                      Eb Gm               F
And then she tries to get through the day
F                                         G
Some will never know or share any kind of dream
G

🎸 Verse 5:
    Am       Dm F                                G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world
    Am      Dm F                                 G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world
    Am      Dm F                                 G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world
    Am      Dm F                                 G
The nightmare, this is not the world, this is not the world

🎸 Bridge 2:
Eb                                F
She wants him to fight   anytime, anywhere whe wants him to stand up
                 G
She wants him to win
G

🎸 Outro:
G                              G
Blinded by the light of the day
