Em            C               Em    C  Em 
The waves are breaking on the wall 
             C                 D 
The queen of roses spreads her arms to fly, 
Am        Em 
she falls 
         C                  Em    C  Em 
If I had wings I'd cut them down 
             C 
and live without these dreams 
   D                 Am              G 
so I could learn to love the ground 
  
Chorus
G                D               Am 
'Cause I want to live inside the world 
          C               G 
I want to act like a real girl 
          D            Am 
I want to know I'm not alone 
         C   -      D  -   Em 
and that dreams are not my home

Verse
Em            C             Em    C 
The future's like a ringing bell 
Em               C 
The road to good intentions 
        D                   Am    Em 
wanders all the way through hell 
              C                   G    C 
The note that hangs in the gilded hall 
    Em             C 
The clanging of my empty rooms 
      D                Am 
Yeah, I could learn to love them all 
  
Chorus
'Cause I want to live inside the world 
I want to act like a real girl 
I want to know I'm not alone 
and that dreams are not my home

Verse
The waves are breaking like they do 
The spires of churches 
are the last place to enjoy the view 
If I had wings I'd use them now 
I could follow you 
then hope someone would pull me down 
  
Chorus
G                D               Am 
'Cause I want to live inside the world 
          C               G 
I want to act like a real girl 
          D            Am 
I want to know I'm not alone 
         C          D 
and that dreams are not my 
C              D 
Dreams are not my 
C              D  Em 
Dreams are not my home
