G                      Em 
   In one dream there's this girl I love 
 
          G                  Em    C 
   And we dance every wakin' breath 
 
              G                       Em 
   And in the other they've thrown me in a cell 
 
               C                 Em X2 
   And they're tryin' me for her death 
 
       G              Em 
   I'm only young and young in love 
 
        G              Em    C 
   As I hold that girl today 
 
           G                 Em 
   But I'm old and tired and in the cell 
 
            C                 Em X2 
   And I've nigh on withered away 
 
   Bridge: 
 
Play the intro again, but skip the first time through, so you only play it 4X, all with  
“Ooh”s. Note that the first words of the next verse below (“Y’see my”) fall on the last  
and a half of the bridge. 
 
Verse: 
 
            G           Em 
   Y'see my baby' gone away too long 
 
           G                Em    C 
   And I'm chokin' back the tears 
 
     G                  Em 
   Disheveled star in a burnt out bar 
           C             Em 
   And I'm talkin' in my drink 
 
       G               Em 
   She promised me the world and more 
 
       G                 Em    C 
   How could she do this to me? 
 
       G                   Em 
   And now mine's tumblin' down around 
 
          C                 Em 
   But at least my eyes can see, And those 
 
   C            C*          Em X2 
   stars in the sky are for me 
 
*Note that for this one version of the verse, there is an extra line, which contains two  
of the C chord. 
 
      G                  Em 
   So as this fagged-out tinsel town 
 
         G              Em  C 
   Waves so-long to the sun 
 
     G               Em 
   I lay here calmly on my bed 
 
           C             Em 
   And the trigger of my gun 
 
       G                   Em 
   And should that no good woman show up 
 
   G              Em   C 
   Dancin' from a dream 
 
        G                    Em 
   I'll squeeze it twice and not think twice 
 
       C            Em 
   And relish every scream 
 
Outro: 
 
On the last line of the last verse, Adam sings “scream” an octave higher, and moves  
into the falsetto “Ooh”s like in the Intro. “Scream” replaces the first “Ooh ooh”, so it  
like this: 
 
     1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 
        Scre-       eam         oo-ooh  ooh   oo-ooh 
        Ooh                                   oo-ooh 
        Ooh         ooh         oo-ooh  ooh   oo-ooh 
        Ooh                           ooh   ooh   ooh 
        ooh
