[Verse 1]
The hourglass never really [B]runs out of sand
You get to the end and you just [Em]turn it [B]up side down
[Em]again It's like a book [B]where the story never ends
[C]The plot [B]keeps turning [Em]around
I was [B]dancing with [Em]my eyes c[B]losed
[Em]The music had [B]me in a tr[Em]ance[B]
[Em]Six o'clock [B]in the morning c[Em]ame
[B]around I was [C]the last [B]one at [Em]the dance
[Am]Morning takes a stif[Em]f upper lip
[Am]A turned up collar and some [Em]very strong hips
[Am]A strong will for when the m[Em]oney slips
And they [B]ain't calling you a lady
[Em]now[B][Em][B][Em][B][C][B]
[Em]A sister told me s[B]ometime [Em]ago [B]Ther[Em]e's no reward for [B]lost
[Em]sheep [B]You'd better lea[Em]rn to loo[B]k sharp, Kee[Em]p it in the lines,
[B]Don't go swi[C]mming where
the [B]river's too [Em]deep
But I knew all [B]along [Em]that just wasn't [B]me
I [Em]went swimming in [B]the river with [Em]the ghosts and [B]debris
[Em]Shouldn't a person a[B]t least try to b[Em]e free
Instead of [C]giving up and just
pre[B]tending to be?
[Am]Morning leaves you in a st[Em]range place A di[Am]rty mir
[B]ror and [Em]a stranger's [Am]face Nowhere to run
[Em]Too late to back out of it
Might [B]as well stick around And take a crack out [Em]of it
[B][Em][B][Em][B][C][B][Em][B][Em][B][Em][B][C][B]
[Em]Ive heard it s[B]aid many times that [Em]life is a [B]dream If it is[Em] I've b[B]een dreaming
of [Em]a crazy [B]machine That's [Em]been choking out the [B]love
Killing [Em]too many d[B]reamers
And [C]I just wanna tear [B]that
old [Em]machine down
Ask me what [B]I would
dream [Em]up in it's place
[B]Well, I'd dre[Em]am of a f[B]orest where we could all
[Em]meet face to [B]face [Em]Where love could be [B]love
[Em]Dreams could [B]be dreamers
[C]Dreamers d[B]reaming of love
[Em]And it's many wonders
[C]Dreamers dre[B]aming[Em] of l[C]ov[B]e[Em]
[B]
