[VERSE 1]
(strum funky use pinky hammer on)
E7+9
When the sun comes shining through
Lighting up what’s left of you
And you set it all aside for another day
Pick it up and rearrange it
Though you know that you won’t change it
Cuz you’ve always been a stranger anyway
[BRIDGE]
G
Now you left your window open
D
Just to keep your spirit rolling
A A7
But you’re hoping that your mind will close the door
G
Take it up two steps higher
D
When you’re drowning in the fire
A A7
The truth you had helped you on along the way
[CHORUS]
G A
If the story feels exactly like a dream
C
Don’t know what it means
D G
Things ain’t what they seem
G A
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
C
Things that you’ve been told
D G
Are deep down in your soul
[VERSE 2]

Now don’t make your move too early
Or you’ll show up in a hurry
You can fall down and surely lose your way
Heaven help you if you mean it
Cuz there's those that will defeat it
They can turn you around and take it all away
[BRIDGE]
G
Now don't look down in the dirt
D
Just to find out what you’re worth
A A7
Cuz that song and dance was never worth your time
G
So work hard and do it right
D
Learn to speak up and to fight
A A7
The truth is gonna beat them down the line
[CHORUS]
G A
If the story feels exactly like a dream
C
Don’t know what it means
D G
Things ain’t what they seem
G A
And you can’t just turn the page and let it go
C
Things that you’ve been told
D G
Are deep down in your soul
[SOLO]
