Verse 1:
     Am             G              C          Cadd11
This car will never make it if you don't slow down
            Am          G               Em7    Cadd11
And there's always more police around a border town
    Am     G               C         Cadd11
You cannot search for what you don't crave
     Am      G       Em7      Cadd11
What ice has carved, man just paved
Chorus:
          F/C              C/G
I wasn't asleep this was a dream
          Am7                       F/C
I can't explain, but I know what it means
            C                     G
I knew what I'd done I planned it that way
                Am                  F/C
No, nothing got lost it got thrown away

Verse 2:
            Am           G         C       Cadd11
You see the effigies are made of a younger us
     Am          G         Em7      Cadd11
With real sweat, real hair and real blood
Am          G           C           Cadd11
Raised on a pyre so the world could see
     Am          G            Em7         Cadd11
What looked like you and what looked like me
Am     G    C        Cadd11
Arm in arm, heart in heart
     Am   G        Em7          Cadd11
That only time and flames could part
Am         G          C         Cadd11
Weak flesh weak heart weeks and years
   Am     G        Em7       Cadd11
On steady hands on listening ears

Chorus:
              F/C           C/G
This wasn't a dream, I was asleep
               Am7                F/C
The vision you gave's not mine to keep
                    C                      G
You'd seen what I'd done but had little to say
                Am                  F/C
No, nothing got lost it got thrown away

Am G  C   Cadd11
Am G  Em7 Cadd11

Verse 3:
             Am      G         C      Cadd11
And what the mind corrupts the lips betray
     Am       G        Em7   Cadd11
Some lies you live you never say
    Am          G          C            Cadd11
The vows of the bride, the jokes on the groom
Am       G       Em7     Cadd11
Virtue's proven, guilt's assumed

Chorus:
            F/C             C/G
I'd fallen asleep I wasn't afraid
              Am7                       F/C
Though I was alone I dreamed that you'd stayed
              C                     G
You acted the part and directed the play
                Am                   F/C
No, nothing got lost we'd thrown it away
