[A]
[D]You think you had the last

[Verse 1]
laugh
Now you know [G]this can't be true
[D]Even though the[A] sun shines
down upon you now
Some[G]times you must feel [D]blue
You make the best of each new day
You try [G]not to be sad
[D]Even though the[A] sky falls
down upon you
Call it mid[G]night, feelin' [D]bad
When you wake [A]up to the promise

[Verse 2]
[G]Of [D]your dream world comin' [G]true
With one [D]less friend [A]to call on
Was [G]it someone that [D]I knew
[A]Away you will go sailin'
In [D]a race [G]among the ruins
If [D]you plan to face to[A]morrow

[Interlude 1]
Do it soon

[D]The

[Verse 3]
road to love is littered
By [G]the bones of other ones
[D]Who by the magic[A] of the moment
Were mys[G]teriously un[D]done
You try to understand it
But you [G]never seem [D]to find
Any kind [A]of freedom comin' clean
Is just [G]an other state [D]of mind

[Verse 4]
When [A]you wake up to the promise
[G]Of [D]your dream world comin' [G]true
With one [D]less friend [A]to call on

[A]Away you will go sailin'
In [D]a race [G]among the ruins
If [D]you plan to face to[A]morrow
Do it soon

[Verse 5]
[A]So tak[D]e the best of all that's left
You know [G]this cannot [D]last
Even though your [A]mother was you maker
From her [G]ap ron strings [D]you pass
Just think about the fool
Who by his [G]virtue can be found
[D]In a most unusu[A]al situation
Playin' [G]jester to [D]the clown
When [A]you wake up to the promise

[Verse 6]
Of [D]your dream world comin' [G]true
With one [D]less friend to call [A]on
Was it [G]someone that I [D]knew
[A]Away you will go sailin'
In [D]a race among the ru[G]ins
If [D]you plan to face to[A]morrow
Do it soon
[G][F]

[Verse 7]
[D]
When [A]you wake up to the promise
Of [D]your dream world comin' [G]true
With one [D]less friend [A]to call on

[A]Away you will go sailin'
In [D]a race among the ru[G]ins
If [D]you plan to face to[A]morrow
