[Verse]
E F#m C#m A
I had a dream I was mugged outside your house
E F#m C#m A
I had a dream in a panic you came running out
E F#m C#m A
For a moment you were sure I'd die on you
E F#m C#m A
For a moment I believed you loved me too
[Pre-Chorus]
B A B D
But life is never like this, and you're never strong
[Chorus]
C#m B E A
Too much of a good thing, won't be good for long
C#m B E G#m G#7
Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
C#m B E F#m
Too much of a good thing, won't be good anymore

Watch where I tread before I fall
