The Nightmare Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
Thrown [F]down through
the arms of [G]sleep
She fell through [Am]the ivory m[Dm]orning
[F]Deep into the water[G]s
Of the one [F]she called [Am]love
[G]She paled in the[F] wake
[Am]Of what some[G] call a dream
But, you cannot know a dream
Till you've known the nightmare
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]
When I [F]stood with you again[G]st the storm
And [Am]I tried once aga[Dm]in
Well, I said, [F]"I'd like to leave you
[G]With something warm"
How [Am]many times
[Dm]Drowning in [F]the sea
[G]Drowning[F]
That [Am]was when [G]the dream
took her [F]prisoner
[Am]And she knew the d[G]ream was over
[Eb]But, [Gm]the n[F]ightmare
was not [Eb]over[Gm][G][F]
Still [G]some call that a dream
[Am]The nightmare... [Dm]the nightmare

[Verse 3]
Well, you [F]cannot know a [G]dream
When you turn [Am]away
You don't know
You'll [Dm]never care
[F]The night is not your [G]friend
And you have not had [Am]her
And when the [Dm]nightmare ends
[F]But, you [G]never understand
[F]When you're [Am]gone[G]
She wakes [F]up [Am]calli[G]ng out
Oh, [Eb]calling [Gm]out
As chil[F]dren may [Eb]cry as she w[Gm]ill[F]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Anytime, oh, [G]anywhere
Blinded by the light of [Eb]the day

[Interlude 1]
She has known the nightmare
[F][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]So about the m[F]oon and her sisters
[G]How dare he tak[Am]e them pri[Dm]soner
Well, if [F]she had flung out her
heart again[G]st him
Then in all of her [Am]wisdom
[Dm]Oh, well that was a myst[F]ery
[G]

[Verse 6]
[F]
That [Am]was when the [G]dream
took her [F]prisoner
[Am]And she knew the d[G]ream was over
[Eb]But [Gm]the n[G]ightmar[F]e
was not [Eb]over[F]
Somewhere in her ancient [Am]ways[G]
She [F]walks through [Am]the [G]night
And then she tries to [Eb]get
[Gm]through the [F]day
Some will never know
Or share any kind [G]of dream

[Verse 7]
[G]
The [Am]night[Dm]mare
[F]This is [G]not [Am]the world[Dm]
[F]This is not the world
This is [G]not the world
The [Am]night[Dm]mare[F][G][Am][Dm][F][G]
[Eb]
She wants him to fight, anytime, [F]anywhere
She wants him to stand up
She wants him to [G]win
This is not the world
This is not the world
This is not the real world
Blinded by the light of the day
Blinded by the light
She was blinded by the light
of [G]the day
[G]Blinded by the day
