E G E
🎸 Verse 1:
E G A
I had a dream and in this dream I could fly
E G A
I fell asleep and woke up where auguries paint the sky
G F# E
and I saw dust up in the clouds and I got futures in my eye
G F#
or maybe it’s the other way ‘round?
A G E
I’ll never know until I come back down.
🎸 Interlude:
E D E
🎸 Verse 2:
E Bm A
I had an island and this island was home
E A Bm E
a crescent moon of rock and magma, many depths unknown
Bm F#m E
who knows where it is now, I’ve gone, I’ve wandered and I’ve roamed
G F#m
or maybe it’s the other way ‘round?
A G E
well, I’ll never know until my island’s found.
🎸 Chorus:
A G D A
We’re now well past “game over,” but this ship is sailing on
A G E
New planets and new players, new dusks and days and dawns
A E G E
I’ve powered up, I’ve buckled down, I’ve got a brand new face
F#7 C E
and I’ll never be a waste of Space.

🎸 Verse 3:
E G A
I had a future and this future was vast
E A Bm E
the light at the tunnel’s end was so much brighter than the past
Bm F#m E
but darkness fell and things were grim, I should have known it couldn’t last
G F#m
I’ll sit here in this corner and weep.
Am Bm
And I’ll try my hardest not to fall a–

🎸 Verse 4:
E Bm A
I had a life, and this life, it was mine
E A Bm E
it flew by like a breath, like flashing lights, like passing time
Bm F#m E
but I went bad and barking mad – I found my way and lost my mind
G F#m
or maybe it’s the other way ‘round?
Am Bm E
Well, now I’m too familiar with the ground.
F#7 G E
Crushed, deceased, defeated and house-bound
A G E
I guess I’m lost until my body’s found.
🎸 Chorus:
A G D A
Adventure time is over, friends, or at least we’re getting there
A G E
I hope our story never ends, but life is never fair.
A E G E
Learn but don’t look back too much, reset but don’t erase;
F#7 C E
now my body is a waste of Space.
