Intro: Am C Am C Verse 1: Am Took a friend I found C Cross some blood red river Am Never did find my way home C In time to forgive her Pre-Chorus 1: Am C E E7 Why must people always want what they can't have Am C E E7 Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp
Chorus: Am How did we get so far C E How did we move so fast away E7 Am From the lilac-lillied lake C E I'm sure we used to stay E7 Is it only a dream away Am C E E7 Verse 2: Am Took a raft I found C Cross some blood red river Am Never did find my way home C In time for my dinner Am C E Why must people always want what they never have Am C E Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled Chorus: Am How did we get so far C E How did we move so fast away E7 Am From the lilac-lillied lake C E I'm sure we used to stay E7 Is it only a dream away Am C E Only a dream away Am C E Away yeah Am C E Verse 3: Am Lost a friend I found C Down some blood red river Am Never did find my way home C In time to forget her Am C E E7 Why must people always want what they can't have Am C E E7 Why must people always take but forget to ask Am C E only a dream only a dream away Am C E away yeah Am C E Am
