VERSE 1
G D
Through the corridors of sleep
C G
Past the shadows dark and deep
D C G C G
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
G D
I dont know what is real,
C G
I can't touch what I feel
D C G
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
CHORUS:
D C G G/F# Em
So I'll continue to continue to pre- tend
Am Em
My life will never end,
A C
And flowers never bend
Opening Riff
With the rainfall.
VERSE 2
G D
The mirror on my wall
C G
Casts an image dark and small
D C G C G
But Im not sure at all its my reflection.
G D
I am blinded by the light
C G
Of God and truth and right
D C G C G
And I wander in the night without direction.
CHORUS
D C G G/F# Em
So I'll continue to continue to pre- tend
Am Em
My life will never end,
A C
And flowers never bend
Opening Riff
With the rainfall.
VERSE 3:
G D
Its no matter if youre born
C G
To play the king or pawn
D C G C G
For the line is thinly drawn tween joy and sorrow,
G D
So my fantasy
C G
Becomes reality
D C G C G
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.
CHORUS
D C G G/F# Em
So I'll continue to continue to pre- tend
Am Em
My life will never end,
A C
And flowers never bend
Opening Riff
With the rainfall.
