Reverie

G                  D/F#         
the streetlights are diamonds, 
Em            C
the sidewalk a bed
G                  D/F#    
of boot heels and garbage and 
     Em            C
cigarettes
D              G          C
and only the hopeless and lonesome 
are left
Am          G/B            D
to pin up the night and go home

[Verse]
G                  D/F#         
and i don’t believe that a 
Em            C
fortune is told
G                  D/F#         
by the turning of cards, by the 
Em            C
swinging of stones
D              G          C
but still i’m here hoping for what i
 can’t hold
Am          G/B            D
for some kind of sign from above

[Chorus]
G              Em             C 
so turn out the lights, let the 
            D
diamonds be damned
G              Em             C 
a reverie is sweeter in the dark
            D

Em              C             D
and i don’t got nothing but two 
empty hands
G/B                  C        
and this slow burning flame of a 
    D
heart
G/B                  C        
and this slow burning flame of a 
    D
heart

[Verse]
G                  D/F#     
and midnight comes rolling all 
    Em            C
bottles and bags
G         D/F#         Em       
they come to rest soft in the 
     C
park
D              G          C
and a beautiful woman, her voice 
made of glass
Am          G/B            D
stirs in a dream in the dark

[Verse]
G                  D/F#         
and i don’t believe that the 
Em            C
future is told
G         D/F#         Em       
by the weight of a word, but by 
     C
the way it’s spoke
D              G          C
and still i’m here holding your name
 in my throat
Am          G/B            D
and isn’t it sweet on my tongue

[Chorus]
G              Em             C 
so turn out the lights, let the 
            D
diamonds be damned
G              Em             C 
a reverie is sweeter in the dark
            D

Em              C             D
and i don’t got nothing but two 
empty hands
G/B                  C        
and this slow burning flame of a 
    D
heart
G/B                  C        
and this slow burning flame of a 
    D
heart

[Brige]
Em                   C
and the dawn glows, and it spreads 
like a spill
Em              C                 
in the shadows, someone whispers 
Am            D
it will be alright

[Verse]
G                  D/F#         
the streetlights are faded, the 
Em            C
sidewalk a song
G         D/F#         Em 
of footsteps, and papers, and 
           C
telephones
D              G          C
and darling it’s raining, come take 
me back home
Am          G/B            D
it seems that i’ve seen quite enough

[Verse]
G                  D/F#         
and i don’t know which way i’m 
Em            C
bound to believe
G         D/F#         Em  
the story itself, or the space 
          C
between
D              G          C
but still i’m here wiping my eyes on
 my sleeve
Am          G/B            D
at the beautiful world waking up
