A A7M
Last night I dreamed I had to tell
E/A D/A
My parents about us
Bm7 A
When I woke up I was crying
A A7M
Mother shook me by the shoulders
E/A D/A
Said “you’re ruining your life!”
Bm F#m E
I’m sorry that your bright young boy is dying
A A7M
I know I dishonored
E/A D/A
The family name but
Bm7 A
All I ever had was my heart
A A7M
And I wake up a kid
E/A D/A
In a bed miles from home
Bm F#m E
But I’m too old to get a new start
D A
I’ve heard I talk in my sleep
E Bm
But my voice is too weak
Bm C#m Bm
To hear the words I say
G C#m
I’ve been trying like hell
C D
To wake myself up
Bm A A4
But dreams fall hard today
Bm A A4
But dreams fall hard today
A A7M
In a vision of death
E/A D/A
You breathe your last breath
Bm7 A
And all that I hold is cold embers
A A7M
And I sing in your ear
E/A D/A
But there’s nothing to hear
Bm F#m E
Just a nightowl in burial chambers
A A7M
You say that you love me
E/A D/A
And I write it all down
Bm7 A
So when you’re gone I’ll remember
A A7M
But as I get old I find
E/A D/A
I can’t trust my own mind
Bm F#m E
And your words all break down into laughter
D A
I’ve heard I talk in my sleep
E Bm
But my voice is too weak
Bm C#m Bm
To hear the words I say
G C#m
I’ve been trying like hell
C D
To wake myself up
Bm A A4
But dreams fall hard today
Bm A A4
But dreams fall hard today
G F#m
I watch myself falling apart
E
My body can’t keep up with my heart
What I see I can’t understand
E7
Your sweet boy’s becoming a nervous old man
A A7M
I wake up with tears
E/A D/A
Not yet dried on my face
Bm7 A
No comfort in the cold light of morning
A A7M
Young men see visions
E/A D/A
And old men dream dreams
Bm F#m E
And it all amounts to a warning
D A
I’ve heard I talk in my sleep
E Bm
But my voice is too weak
Bm C#m Bm
To hear the words I say
G C#m
I’ve been trying like hell
C D
To wake myself up
Bm A A4
But dreams fall hard today
Bm A A4
But dreams fall hard today
D A
But I talk in my sleep
E Bm
But my voice is too weak
Bm C#m Bm
To hear the words I say
G C#m
And I’ve been trying like hell
C D
To wake myself up
Bm A A4
But dreams fall hard today
Bm A A4
Dreams fall hard today
Bm A A4
Dreams fall hard today
Bm A A4
Dreams fall hard today
A A7M
And by the time
E/A D/A
I get it out of my mind
Bm7 A
Night has fallen upon me again
