[Intro]
D D/C# Bm Bm/A G A
[Verse]
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
G G/F#
When hope was high
Em7 A
And life worth living
D D/C# Bm7 Bm/A
I dreamed that love would never die
G G/F# Em7 A
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
Then I was young and unafraid
G G/F# Em7 A
And dreams were made and used and wasted
D D/C# Bm7 Bm/A
There was no ransom to be paid
G G/F# Em7 A
No song unsung, no wine untasted
[Chorus]
B Em
But the tigers come at night
B B7 E
With their voices soft as thunder
A Dm
As they tear your hope apart
A D Em F#m G A
And they turn your dream to shame
[Verse]
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
He slept a summer by my side
G G/F# Em7 A
He filled my days with endless wonder
D D/C# Bm7 Bm/A
He took my childhood in his stride
G Asus A D A Am B
But he was gone when autumn came
E E/D# C#m7 C#m/B
And still I dream he'll come to me
A A/G# F#m7 B
That we will live the years together
E E/D# C#m7 C#m/B
But there are dreams that cannot be
A A/G# F#m7 B E E/D#
And there are storms we cannot weather
[Bridge]
C#m7 C#m/B A A/G#
I had a dream my life would be
F#m7 B E
So different from this hell I'm living
E/D# C#m7 C#m/B
So different now from what it seemed
A B E
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
