Chords:
Bm7-5 x23230
D(7) could be played x5453x alternating with 5x453x
G
How long can I stay
in this nowhere cafe
D
'fore night turns into day?
D
I wonder why
I'm so frightened
G
of dawn
C
All I have
G
and all I know
D
is this dream of you
G
which keeps me living on
There's a moment when
all old things
become new again
But that moment
might have come
and gone
All I have
and all I know
is this dream of you
which keeps me living on
D
I look away,
G
but I keep seeing it.
D7
I don't wanna believe,
G
but I keep believing it.
Bm7-5 E7 Am /g# /g /f#
Shadows dance upon the wall.
A7 D7
Shadows that seem to know it all.
Am I too blind to see?
Is my heart
playing tricks on me?
I'm lost in the crowd,
all my tears
are gone.
All I have
and all I know
is this dream of you
which keeps me living on
Everything I touch
seems to disappear
Everywhere I turn
you are always here
I run this race
until my earthly death
I'll defend this place
with my dying breath
From a cheerless room
in a curtained gloom
I saw a star from heaven fall
I turned and looked again
but it was gone
All I have
and all I know
is this dream of you
which keeps me living on
