-Intro-
C D# A# F
G# D# A# F
-Verse 1-
(Cm G# Cm A#)
Cm G# Cm A#
Too late, the melody is over. The joke seems to
Cm G# Cm A#
Be on me, 'cause I’m the one not laughing down here on the floor
Cm G# Cm A#
Deflate the mystery of living in the most
Cm G# Cm A#
heartless fashion I could ever imagine. No pretending on
G# A#
decor
-Chorus-
(Fm G# D# A#)
Fm G#
Another place and time, without a great divide
D# A#
And we could be flying deadly high
Fm G# D# A#
I’ll sell my soul to dream you wide awake
Fm G#
Another place and time, without a warning sign
D# A#
And we could be dying angels high
Fm G# D# A#
I’ll sell my soul to dream you wide awake
(Fm G# D# C#)
Fm G# D# C#
I’ll dream you, I’ll dream you, I’ll dream you wide awake
-Instrumental after chorus 1-
(Cm G# Cm A#)
-Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)-
With me disaster finds a playfield
Love seems to draw dark twisted pleasure tearing at me
Cause I can't let you go
Mercy, like water in the desert
Shines through my memory like jewelry in the sun
Where are you now?
-Chorus-
-Middle eight-
(C D# A# F
G# D# A# F)
C D# A#
It’s like I’m raising to the sun
F G#
The lying face, the blazing gun
D# A# F
Cause I’m afraid I will be left here without you
C D# A#
Like I’m raising up the moon
F G#
You give me more when I have none
D# A# F
Cause I’m afraid I will be left here without you
(Cm G# D# G# A#)
Cm G# D# G# A#
Wide awake, wide awake…
-Chorus-
