[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am][Dm][Am][G]
[E][Dm]

[Verse 1]
Through your [Am]dull,
dark & dire [Dm]day
While [Am]the sun shone all [Dm]night
You [Am]loitered by the lake
And the [G]world kept dreamin' while you
[E]walked the world away
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]
Well your [Am]body took a batter[Dm]ing
Raised your [Am]hackles did
their heckling [Dm]rake
It's just [Am]a scribe who's on the make
And the [G]world kept dreamin' while
he [E]walked the world away

[Verse 3]
The [Am]world kept dreamin',
the [G]elements were [Em]schemin'
[F]And all the light was b[E]linding you and a[A]ll the blood was screamin'

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 5]
Now you [Am]were headed for
the temple tea [Dm]inn
Now [Am]the blood is in the temple
Going [Dm]have oh, have oh, have oh
Have [Am]you been [C]here b[G]efore?
Be[E]fore?[Dm]

[Verse 6]
Now he doesn't [Am]seem to
recognize your [Dm]face
Until you [Am]seem to see yourself
as in a [Dm]dream
Moving slowly, every [Am]action undertaken

[Verse 7]
[G]The world kept a- dreamin' while
he [E]walked the world away
The [G]world kept a- dreamin' while
he [E]walked the world away

[Verse 8]
And the [Am]world kept a- [F#dim]dream in'[D],
the [G]elements were [Em]schemin'
[F]All the light was [E]blinding you and
[A]all the blood was screamin'
Now [Dm]lead me to the bed and [F]strip [Am]me bare
[C]O l[Dm]ead me to the s[F]hower,
run the [Am]water [C]through my hair
[F]Now heavily and [Dm]whole as I did [C]lay down
But [G]I won't g[Am]o there...
[Dm]Ya
O lead me to the [F]bed and strip me

[Verse 9]
[Am]bare[C]
[Dm]Lead me to the [F]shower,
run the [Am]water through my [C]hair
[F]Heavily and [Dm]whole as I did [C]lay down
But [G]I w[C]on't g[Am]o there
But I won't go there
But I won't go there
But I [F]won't [Am]go there
At the [Adim]top of[Cm]

[Verse 10]
the stairs...
[Dm]
