Piano Intro:
G C G C G C G C
VERSE
G C
You were never one for waiting,
G C
Still I always thought you'd wait for me.
G C
And have you from your dreams awaken,
G C
and from where you are what do you see?
transition: Bb A G (x2)
G C
Which of us is now in exile, which in need of amnesty?
G C G
Are you now but an illusion, in my mind alone you breath.
Pre-Chorus
C D Em D C
You believed in things that I would ne-ver know.
C D Em D C
You were out there drowning and it ne-ver showed
C D Em D C
'Till inside a rain swept night you just let go.
Chorus
G C G C
You've thrown it all away, and now we'll never see.
G C
the ending to the play.
The grand design, the final line,
G
and what was meant to be.
VERSE
G C
In the dark a distant runner,
G C
now has disappeared into the night.
G C
leaving us to stand and wonder
G C
staring from this end into your life.

G C
the ending to the play.
The grand design, the final line,

and what was meant to be.
G
And if this is all illusion, nothing more than pure delusion, clinging
G
to a fading fantasy
G
Like Icarus who heed the calling of a sun, but now is falling as the
G G
feathers of his life fall free.. cant you see......
Yeah..

Tomorrow and after, you tell me what am I to do.
G D/F# Em C D G
I stand here, believing, that in the dark there is a clue.
G D/F# Em C D G
Perhaps inside this midnight sky, perhaps tommorrow's newborn eyes.

Standing on a dream, isn't what it seems,
C D G
could we then proclaim a dream reduce?
G D/F# Em
Knowing what we know, could we let it go?
C D G
Realizing that all our dreams are used.
