Db
I dreamed I was drowning
Bbm
In the river Thames
Ab
I dreamed I had nothing at all
GbDb
Nothing but my own skin
Db
I dreamed I was drifting
Bbm
On the howling wind
Ab
I dreamed I had nothing at all
GbDb
Nothing but my own skin
Pre-Chorus:
BbmEb
Slipped away from your open hands
BGb
Into the river
BbmEb
Saw your face looking back at me
BGbDb
I saw my past and I saw my future
Chorus:
Gb
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Db
Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
Gb
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
Db
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
B
Put it all back together
GbDb
But anyway you look at things, looks like
Ab
The lovers are losing
Verse:
Db
I dreamed I was watching
Bbm
The young lovers dance
Ab
I reached out to touch your hand
GbDb
But I was watching from a distance
Pre-Chorus:
BbmEb
We cling to love like a skidding car
BGb
Clinched to the corner
BbmEb
I try to hold on to what we are
BGbDb
The more I squeeze the quicker we all are
Chorus:
Gb
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Db
Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
Gb
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
Db
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
B
Put it all back together
GbDb
But anyway you look at things, looks like
Ab
The lovers are losing
