My Dream's But A Drop Of Fuel For A Nightmare Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]My paint[F#dim]ed face,[C]
[F#dim]I'm a clown[Am],[E]
[F#dim]And I'm laughing while my dream[C]
turn[F#dim]s into a ni[C]ghtmare,[E]
[F#m]Fade a[C]way, I'm a[Am]sleep,
[C]Not too [D#dim]deep[B]

[Verse 2]
[D#aug]The walls[Em] of n[C]ight[G]
[C]have left me sca[D]rred[Em]
The [G]broken [D]glass I stepped on,
[Em]twice.
The [G]ardent [C]spirits' rusty edge,
[Am]decapitate me[B]
[A]

[Verse 3]
[Bm][A]
[Bm]I ca[D]n't sl[G]eep, fear darkness
[A]Go thr[D]ough the[A] mot[G]ion s,[A]
did I [D]fall asleep?
I'm [G]bowling, the old [A]nine pin,
a sign un[E]wanted[Em]

[Verse 4]
Now [D]I'm [G]a target, I'm hot and [C]frozen,
Stormy [D]rain I'm [Bm]stuck [D]in an el[C]evat[D]or
[Em]Wet [G]from t[C]he muddy water,
Breathing [D]hot air, [Bm]winds con[A]vey me

[Verse 5]
[A][D]
[A]Bababababaaaa
The num[D]ber [E]talks and I [C#m]cry in[E]
[D]my [E]own [A]Hell[F#m]
Bababababaaaa
Wide awake, [E]I'm asleep,
see a [A]friend [E]as a [F#m]ghost

[Verse 6]
I'm skating with [A]a seal,
The [D]tarantula, [C#]the fly, the broken [F#m]ring
The dusty little [A]flea
An [D]ugly [C#]giant, a disappointed [Bm]child

[Verse 7]
Here comes a rabid [D]snake
[G]The broken viol[F#]in, a wild ballet
[Bm]Shakespeare and company[D]
Re[G]fuse to kill the [F#]kitten scratching me

[Verse 8]
[F#]I'm [B]fall[Em]ing, I'm falling,
[E]I'm [C#]fall[F#]ing, [D#]I'm falling, awak[C#]e[F#]

[Verse 9]
You [F#m]know, if you believe the dreams,
the nightly visions, worlds entwined
[E]Then [Em]you also fear your shadow,
[B]par[Bm]a noi[B]a, part [Bm]two[A][Bm]

[Verse 10]
[Em]All the good things in my
life dwell in my mind
Took a wrong lane, every day,
I hear myself [D]say
Sickening's this feeling,
my life, my hopes,
[Am]My dream's but a drop of
fuel for a [Em]nightmare

[Verse 11]
They all [Em]turn out the same
My destiny, my [D]flame
Believing is con[Am]trol?
[Em]No.
The painting comes alive,
Takes me in[D]side a world without a name, a [Am]place beyond compare

[Verse 12]
[Em]Believe the [C]dreams that
let you [G]sleep[Em]
The broken [G]glass [F#m]you
[G]need [F#m]to swe[D]ep[Em]
The book [G]you [C]read; if
you found [G]an [Am]explanation[C]
To [Em]help [D#]you in a[D#m]ny way[B],
You are your own pris[A]on.[F#m][A]

[Verse 13]
Woke up today, [D]The
good and the bad and the ugly
[C#]dreams are g[F#m]one[A]
Jumped off the [D]ca [C#]rou[B][Bm][D][G][F#][Bm]
[D]sel
