Verse 

  Dm                            F    G        Dm 
Some mornings I wake up wishing I could be someone else 

                            F        G              
If even just for a day get away from everything, escape myself 

Dm                               F          G 
Not having to live with all this doubt and insecurity 

   Dm                      F            C           Dm     F 
King for a day, fool for a lifetime is all I'll ever be 


Pre-Chorus 

      C          G                 Dm      F 
I made promises I knew I could not keep 

      C                    G                   Bb          
I made choices I knew were wrong 'cause I was weak 

  F          C (let ring) 
I know that now 


Verse 

Dm                           F       G                 Dm 
But even though my heart has always been in the right place 

                             F              C                    Dm 
It's on a different beat and I have always moved at a different pace 

   F         Dm         F         G               Dm 
In my refusal I betray myself and I can't help to think 

                            F                G              Dm    F 
that no matter what or if I try I will keep beating out of sync 


Pre-Chorus 

           C      G                Dm     F 
I made promises I knew I could not keep 

           C               G                  Bb 
I made choices I knew were wrong 'cause I was weak 

  F         C 
I know that now 



        F           Dm       C 
I have walked this streets a thousand times 

          F        Dm        C 
Wondering where it all went wrong 

        F          Dm     C             Bb      Dm     C 
Where I lost myself to who I am holding on to a dream for too long 

       Bb  F    Dm            C 
I held on to a dream for too long

F                   Dm       C 
I have walked this streets a thousand times 

          F         Dm       C 
Wondering where it all went wrong 

        F          Dm    C              Bb      Dm     C 
Where I lost myself to who I am holding on to a dream for too long 

        F          Dm     C 
I have sailed this waters back and forth 

        F         Dm            C 
To fight a battle that can't be won 

      F        Dm        C 
I am left in a vast and empty world 

         Dm   G    Dm             C 
With no dream to which I can hold on 

         Bb       Dm        C 
For the dream is long long gone 

         Bb        F         C     (single strums, sustained) 
Yeah the dream is long long gone
