Slaid Cleaves - Dreams
INTRO: G D Em C G Em
A C D
You hung your hopes on a crooked nail
C Em
Dropped your dreams down a rusty pail
A C D
A little broken china coffee cup
C
Could hold what's left of what you still won't give up
CHORUS:
G D Em
Where do all your dreams go to
C D
When it all starts to turn untrue
G D Em
What is all your wishing for
C D G D Em C G Em
When you just don't believe anymore
A C D
You threw your love like a skipping stone
C Em
Never had a chance, you shoulda known
A C D
Beg the fates to give it back
C
And you're sinking as the sky goes black
CHORUS:
G D Em
Where do all your dreams go to
C D
When it all starts to turn untrue
G D Em
What is all your praying for
C D Em G
When you don't believe the words anymore
BRIDGE:
Em
An eyelash lay upon her face
G
You still keep it in a secret place
Em
Take it out and remember when
C
She was here, then put it back again
D
Put it back again
INSTRUMENTAL: Em A C D C Em A C D C Em
A C D
A million stars in the cold black sky
C Em
Maybe one will fall for you tonight
A C D
A silver moon and diamonds high
C
A worthless penny when she said goodbye
CHORUS:
G D Em
Where do all your dreams go to
C D
When it all starts to turn untrue
G D Em
What is all your wishing for
C D G D Em C
When you don't believe in dreams anymore
OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
