[Intro]

[Verse]
Bm7 D/F# D/B
This one's about a dream I had last night
Bm7 D/F# D/B
How an old man tracked me home And stepped inside
Bm7 D/F# D/B G
Put his foot inside the door And gave a crooked smile
Asus2
Something in his eyes
G
Something in his laugh
F#
something in his voice that made my skin crawl off
[Verse]
Said I've seen you here before
I know your name
How you could have your pick
Of pretty things
You could have it all
Everything at once
Everything you've seen
Everything you'll need
Everything you've ever had in fantasies
[Chorus]
Bm7
You've one life
D/F#
you’ve one life
D/B
One life left to lead
Bm7
You've one life
D/F#
you’ve one life
D/B
One life left to leave
[Verse]
I woke up from my dream
As a golden man
With a girl I've never seen
With Golden skin
I jumped up to my feet
She asked me what was wrong
I began to scream
I don't think this is me
Is this just a dream
Or really happening?
[Chorus]
Bm7
You've one life
D/F#
you’ve one life
D/B
One life left to lead
Bm7
You've one life
D/F#
you’ve one life
D/B
One life left to leave
[Bridge]
G
What direction? (what direction?)
A
What direction? (what direction?)
Bm D
I'm splitting up, I'm splitting up
G
This is my personal disaffection. What direction?
A
What direction? What direction now?
[Verse]
I looked outside the glass
At golden shores
Golden ships and masts
With golden cords
As my reflection passed
I hated what I saw
The Golden eyes were dead
A thought passed through my head
A heart that's made of gold can't really beat at all
[Bridge]
G F#
I wanted to wake up again, I wanted to wake up again
F
Without a touch of gold
E D
Without a touch of gold
N.C.
What direction?
What direction? ...
Life begins at the intersection
G
What direction?
A
What direction? What direction now?
[Verse]
I woke up as before
But the gold was gone
My wife was at the door
With a night robe on
My heart beat once or twice
And life flooded my veins
Everything had changed
My lungs had found their voice
And what was once routine
Was now the perfect joy
[Chorus]
Bm7
You've one life
D/F#
you’ve one life
D/B
One life left to lead
Bm7
You've one life
D/F#
you’ve one life
D/B
One life left to leave
