[Verse 1]
D G
In Rio the air is still warm in November
D G
Blowing along by the bay
Bm D
And you're locked in the bathroom of some rented palace
G F#m Em
Washing the traces away
G D
I wonder if you could have grown up an athlete
F#m Bm D
Breathless and lonely and free
G D
But there you are clubbing in darkened sunglasses
G F#m Bm
Working it out on TV
[Instrumental]
D G
[Verse 2]
D G
They showed me the pictures, they gave me the story
D G
Saw you splashed over the screen
Bm D
Saw you wrapped in a sheet like the ghost at the feast
G F#m Em
As they dragged you away from the scene
G D
Out in the crowd by the Copacabana
F#m Bm D
Pushing your way through the press
G D
For God's sake be quiet, there's nobody listening
G F#m Bm
There's no one about to confess
[Instrumental]
D G
[Chorus 1]
D G
So is this what you dreamed, then?
D G A
Is this what you had in mind?
Bm D G
Did you buy your own ticket or were you just strapped to the ride?
Bm D G
If I sent you a postcard, well, who would send back the reply?
Bm D
If I tried to stand by you, well, would I be taken aside?
[Bridge]
G G/F# A G

[Verse 3]
D G
Remember the long lazy Saturday mornings
D G
Glued to cartoons on TV
Bm D
Or riding your bike down Ontario street
G F#m Em
To pick up a cone of ice cream
G D
Remember the wheels of your little red bike
F#m Bm D
And the bricks of the big Stratford hall
G D
Now you're lost by the window of some private jet
G F#m Bm
And the streets are so awfully small
[Instrumental]
D G
[Chorus 2]
D G
Is this what you dreamed, then?
D G A
Is this what you had in mind?
Bm D G
Did you buy your own ticket or were you just strapped to the ride?
Bm D G
If I sent you a postcard, well, who would send back the reply?
Bm D
If I tried to stand by you, well, would I be taken aside?
[Outro]

Is this what you dreamed, then?
